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 Yukon R at Eagle AK
Yukon River at Eagle, AK - A vital artery of the subarctic landscape.
The Yukon River at Eagle is a significant reach of one of North America's longest rivers, prominently coursing through a rugged and expansive subarctic environment. This section plays a crucial role in the hydrology of the Tatonduk River-Yukon River watershed, which is vital for both the local ecology and the community's needs.
The watershed context
Draining approximately 111,600 square miles, the Yukon River is a major waterway that supports a diverse array of wildlife and habitats. In the Eagle area, the river's flow is influenced by the seasonal rhythms characteristic of subarctic hydrology. Spring breakup and snowmelt create periods of substantial flow, often leading to annual floods, occasionally complicated by the presence of ice jams. During the deep winter months, low flows prevail under the ice, shaping the seasonal patterns that define this remote and rugged region.
This section of the Yukon has no identified parent river, but it forms an important segment of the larger Tatonduk River-Yukon River system. The hydrological behavior of this reach is key for local ecosystems and is intimately connected with the cultural practices of communities in the region.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring stations like the one at Yukon River at Eagle, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), provide essential data that helps to understand the river's health and flow patterns. The station measures both the elevation and discharge, allowing for a comprehensive view of water conditions and responses to climatic variations.
Today, the river's reading will be compared against its historical median for this date, offering context to current conditions. This comparison is more significant than looking at raw elevation figures alone, as it reflects not only the river's current state but also how it behaves over time. The historical perspective, developed over the last 50 years, is invaluable for flood prediction and ecological management in this dynamic environment.
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.
