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 Whitemouth River near Whitemouth
Whitemouth River - A vital tributary in Manitoba’s landscape.
The Whitemouth River flows gracefully near the community of Whitemouth in Manitoba, serving as a key watercourse within its namesake watershed. Spanning a catchment area of approximately 3,750 square kilometres, this river plays an important role in the local hydrology, contributing to the intricate balance of water systems in the region.
The watershed context
The Whitemouth River lies within the broader Whitemouth watershed, which is characterized by a mix of agricultural and forested landscapes. As part of the Prairie hydrology, the river experiences a distinct seasonal flow regime. Spring snowmelt initiates the primary flooding events in the area, where the river's flow can rise significantly. As the season progresses into summer, the river typically recedes, reflecting the natural cycles of evaporation and reduced inflow.
Why the data matters here
Water data from the Whitemouth River near Whitemouth is critical for local stakeholders, including farmers, environmental managers, and community members. This station not only measures elevation but also provides discharge readings, offering insights into the river's dynamics. Today's reading from the Water Survey of Canada reflects how water levels compare to the median for this date over the last 50 years, making it a crucial benchmark for understanding seasonal changes and potential flooding risks. This context helps interpret the river’s health and informs decisions regarding land and water use 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.
