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 Guamani Oeste at Highway 15 Guayama
Canal de Guamani Oeste - A vital waterway in Southern Puerto Rico.
The Canal de Guamani Oeste at Highway 15 in Guayama serves as a key artery in the southern region of Puerto Rico's complex water system. This river plays an important role not only in local hydrology but also in the surrounding communities that depend on its flow for various purposes.
The watershed context
The Canal de Guamani Oeste is part of the Southern Puerto Rico watershed, an area marked by its rainfall-driven hydrology that can lead to rapid changes in water levels. This hydrological characteristic is significant, particularly in the context of tropical conditions where flash floods can occur with little notice. The station, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has a long record of over 21 years, providing valuable data on the canal's behavior over time.
Nearby water bodies, including the Aes Intake Canal at Canal de Patillas and several sections of the Canal de Juana Diaz, further illustrate the interconnectedness of this waterway within the region. These peer stations allow for a broader understanding of how rainfall and water management practices influence local ecosystems and communities.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the current conditions of the Canal de Guamani Oeste is essential for local stakeholders, including residents and agricultural interests. The river's flow is not only indicative of recent rainfall patterns but also vital for managing water supply and mitigating flood risks. Today’s reading from the Canal de Guamani Oeste provides insights by comparing current levels against the median for this date across the station's historical record.
This context is critical for gauging ongoing conditions, particularly as Southern Puerto Rico experiences year-round rainfall and the potential for sudden flooding events. Monitoring and comparing data helps ensure communities are prepared and can respond appropriately to the dynamics at play in their local hydrology.
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.
