Nibi Metrics
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada and the US. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics turns raw gauge readings from official hydrometric networks into something a person standing on a dock can actually use: is the water high or low for today, which way is it moving, and how unusual is this? This page explains where every number on the platform comes from and what we do to it along the way.

About Wellton-Mohawk Main Outlet Drain near Yuma
Wellton-Mohawk Main Outlet Drain - A Lifeline in an Arid Landscape.
The Wellton-Mohawk Main Outlet Drain serves as a vital channel in the Lower Gila region, especially in the context of Arizona's unique hydrological patterns. This river flows near Yuma and plays a role in managing water for agricultural needs, reflecting the intricate balance required for water use in arid conditions.
The watershed context
The Wellton-Mohawk Main Outlet Drain is a part of the Lower Gila watershed, an area characterized by its seasonal variability. Summer monsoon thunderstorms often lead to sudden and powerful flash floods, while winter storms and snowmelt from the higher elevations feed the larger river systems. These patterns result in a landscape where water flow can be unpredictable, with many channels remaining dry until the next significant weather event.
Surrounding waterways include other important irrigation channels and sections of the Gila River, such as the Gila River below Painted Rock Dam and the Gila River near Dateland. These connections to the Gila River system highlight the crucial role of the Wellton-Mohawk Main Outlet Drain in water management in this context.
Why the data matters here
Water levels and discharge measurements in the Wellton-Mohawk Main Outlet Drain are crucial for stakeholders, from local farmers to city planners. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates this station, which has been collecting data for over 50 years. Today's reading will be compared against the median for this date across its historical record to provide a deeper understanding of current conditions. This approach is essential, as it contextualizes the water level against historical norms, allowing for better management decisions rather than relying solely on raw elevation figures.
Effective monitoring of this outlet drain is vital for ensuring reliable water supply, especially in a region where water management is closely tied to climatic fluctuations.
How this page is built
Readings come from official government gauges and are rolled into daily records: the daily mean, high and low for every day on record. Each calendar day gets its own baseline from the full history, so the level you see is compared against what this specific date usually looks like rather than an annual average.
