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 Aes Intake Canal at Canal de Patillas, Guayama
Aes Intake Canal - A vital conduit in Southern Puerto Rico.
The Aes Intake Canal, located at Canal de Patillas in Guayama, serves as a critical water channel in the region. Situated within the dynamic hydrological landscape of Southern Puerto Rico, this canal is influenced by the area's rainfall-driven flash floods, which can become particularly intense during hurricanes and tropical waves. The sharp and short basins in the region can elevate water levels dramatically within a matter of hours, marking drastic shifts in flow and level.
The watershed context
This canal is a part of the Southern Puerto Rico watershed, surrounded by a network of channels that include prominent peers such as the Canal de Guamani Oeste and several segments of the Canal de Juana Diaz. This network highlights the interconnectedness of the waterways in the area, emphasizing the importance of maintaining healthy aquatic systems to support both ecological balance and human use.
While precise drainage area data is not available, the absence of discharge measurement suggests the canal primarily functions to channel and manage incoming water rather than measure flow out of the system. As such, it plays a vital role in directing the substantial rainfall that characterizes the region's tropical climate.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the current water level in the Aes Intake Canal is essential for local stakeholders, including residents and agricultural practitioners. Today's reading serves as a pivotal indicator when compared to the median for this calendar day across the station's historical record, which spans over 19 years, thus providing a more contextualized view of the canal's behavior over time. The gauge, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey, helps to assess potential flood risks and supports informed decision-making during periods of fluctuating weather patterns typical to 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.
