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 Canal de Aguadilla above Lago Ramey, Aguadilla PR
Canal de Aguadilla - A vital local waterway above Lago Ramey.
Flowing from its origins, Canal de Aguadilla plays an essential role in the hydrology of the Cibuco-Guajataca watershed. This riverine channel acts as a conduit for water in the region, with connections to other nearby waterways including the Canal de Derivacion at Lago de Guajataca and Canal de Moca, creating a network that reflects the dynamic environmental conditions typical of tropical island regions.
Why the data matters here
Today's reading from the Canal de Aguadilla gauge helps provide a snapshot of water levels in this rainfall-driven area, known for its rapid response to weather events. With hurricanes and tropical waves inducing flash floods, monitoring river sites like this one is crucial for local safety and resource management. The gauge is operated by the U.S. Geological Survey; while it does not publish discharge information, regular water level tracking is essential for understanding flood risks and preparing for varying conditions.
As of today, the water level at Canal de Aguadilla is assessed against the median for this date across its historical record of over 22 years. This comparison provides a more contextual understanding of today’s measurement, surpassing mere elevation figures for a more informed perspective on current environmental conditions. Understanding how today's levels compare to historical data is invaluable, especially in a region where steep basins can swell in response to heavy rains.
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.
