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 Juana Diaz at Piedra Aguzada near Juana Dia
Canal de Juana Diaz - A vibrant waterway in Southern Puerto Rico.
The Canal de Juana Diaz at Piedra Aguzada is an integral part of the hydrological network in Southern Puerto Rico. Positioned in a region characterized by its tropical island climate, this canal benefits from significant rainfall throughout the year. Such a pattern leads to rapid fluctuations in water levels, especially during heavy rains associated with tropical waves and hurricanes.
The watershed context
The Canal de Juana Diaz acts as a key facilitator of water flow in the Southern Puerto Rico watershed, which features a variety of other canals and waterways such as the Aes Intake Canal at Canal de Patillas and the Canal de Guamani Oeste. While the exact drainage area for this specific monitoring station is not available, the significance of the canal within the broader watershed is clear. The area's hydrology is highly responsive, with flash floods being a common occurrence, prompting quick rises in water levels. The short, steep basins in this tropical environment can contribute to dramatic changes in flow conditions after rain events.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the water levels and flow trends at this location is crucial, especially for local communities who rely on the canal for various needs. The recorded data, monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), provides essential insights into the area's hydrological behavior, particularly important during rainy seasons.
Today’s reading from the Canal de Juana Diaz at Piedra Aguzada offers a snapshot of current water conditions, compared against the median for this calendar day. This metric can reveal significant changes in the water system over time, as it contextualizes today's measurement within a historical framework extending over 22 years. Monitoring this data is vital for managing risks associated with high water events in the region, ultimately aiding in community safety and resource management.
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.
