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 Whiteman Creek above Bouleau Creek
Whiteman Creek - a vital stream in the Okanagan.
Whiteman Creek flows with purpose above Bouleau Creek in British Columbia's Okanagan region, where the surrounding mountains shape the hydrology. This creek is characteristic of the area, reflecting the shifts in elevation and contributing to the dynamic water systems that run through the Okanagan Valley.
The watershed context
This tributary is part of a larger network of streams in the Okanagan watershed, draining roughly 108 square kilometres above the gauge. Whiteman Creek is joined by several peers, such as B.x. Creek and Clark Creek, which also carve through the landscape, collectively serving as important resources to both the environment and the local communities. The Okanagan region experiences a distinctive mountain hydrology; typically, the freshet peaks between May and July due to melting snowpack, resulting in increased streamflow that sustains the areas below through the warmer months.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the water levels at Whiteman Creek Above Bouleau Creek, a station with a history that spans 49 years, is crucial for understanding local water dynamics. The current reading augments our capacity to compare day-to-day fluctuations against historical medians for this date, enriching our knowledge of water trends and aiding in decision-making for various stakeholders like farmers and recreational users. The gauge’s data is generated by flow measurements reported by the Water Survey of Canada (WSC), providing insights that extend beyond simple water elevation, offering a comprehensive picture of water health in the area.
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.
