WHAT YOU GET - Live levels and flows, updated as each gauge reports - The deviation: how far the water is from typical for today's date, with its percentile and the record for the date - Rising or falling, and how fast - A water level forecast, plus the weather over the water for the next few hours - Alerts: pick the level that matters to you, like the top of your dock or your pump intake, and get a push when the water gets there - What's happening now: record highs, fast rises and the biggest swings - Widgets for Home and Lock screens - A map of every gauge, with live radar and playback where available - Charts of level and flow, from the last day back a full year - Favourites for the places you check every day - Light or dark mode, or follow your phone Whatever you call it (river level, river height, stage or gauge height), Nibi shows it live from the official gauge, with the record and the forecast.
