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 Wolverine C near Lawing AK
Wolverine Creek - a remote wilderness waterway.
Wolverine Creek flows near Lawing, Alaska, nestled within the rugged and pristine landscape of the Eastern Prince William Sound watershed. This river offers a glimpse into the diverse hydrology of Subarctic regions, where extreme seasonal changes shape the water dynamics. Measuring a drainage area of approximately 9.4 square miles above the gauge, the creek is part of a broader ecosystem featuring other nearby water bodies such as Lowe River and Mineral Creek.
The watershed context
The Eastern Prince William Sound watershed encompasses a variety of rivers and creeks, each contributing to the intricate hydrological patterns of the region. As spring arrives, the melting snowpack, combined with ice breakup, triggers the annual flood cycle. In summer, glacier-fed rivers like those nearby typically peak, while the deep winter months bring low flows under ice. These seasonal rhythms are crucial for maintaining the ecological balance and supporting local wildlife.
Why the data matters here
Data from the Wolverine Creek gauge operated by the U.S. Geological Survey provides essential insights into the stream's health and water flow characteristics. Today’s reading offers a valuable comparison to the median for this calendar day across more than 50 years of recorded history. This context enables local residents, and those engaged in outdoor activities, to better understand current conditions. Monitoring water levels not only aids in recognizing the seasonal patterns but also helps in managing potential flooding and assessing the health of aquatic habitats.
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.
