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 River above White River
Yukon River above White River - A vital artery of the Upper Yukon.
The Yukon River, flowing gracefully above the White River, is a significant waterway within the subarctic hydrological landscape of northern Canada. This stretch is part of the Upper Yukon - White watershed, draining approximately 149,000 square kilometres. As a glacially-fed river, it reflects the distinctive characteristics of the regional hydrology, strongly influenced by seasonal snowmelt and winter conditions.
The watershed context
This section of the Yukon River is shaped by the rugged terrain of the Canadian North, where melting snow sets off the river's peak flows from May to July. During this time, the river’s banks swell with water as the snowpack gives way, feeding into the vast and varied watershed. As summer progresses, the flow may stabilize, though the river is known to remain significant in volume due to glacial contributions throughout the season. In winter, the river reaches lower flows, and ice can form, creating unique opportunities and challenges for local ecosystems and recreational activities.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the Yukon River above White River is essential for understanding both the ecology of the area and the seasonal dynamics that affect nearby flora and fauna. The gauge also measures discharge, providing vital information for those interested in the river's health and changes. Today’s water level provides important context: by comparing the current elevation against the median for this calendar day, useful insights arise regarding the river's behavior over time. The data is managed by Water Survey of Canada, which has meticulously collected records for over 49 years, ensuring a rich history of hydrological observation.
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.
