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 Moca above Lago Regulador (E13) Isabela
Canal de Moca above Lago Regulador - A vital waterway in Isabela, Puerto Rico.
The Canal de Moca flows above Lago Regulador in Isabela, a crucial part of the Cibuco-Guajataca watershed. This river connects various water bodies in the region, including the Canal de Aguadilla and Lago Guerrero, contributing to a vibrant network of waterways shaped by tropical island hydrology.
The watershed context
The Cibuco-Guajataca watershed is characterized by its rainfall-driven hydrology, which can result in rapid flash floods. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced during hurricane seasons and tropical waves, when precipitation can intensify dramatically in a short span. The Canal de Moca plays a significant role in this system, with its water levels reacting quickly to rainfall events.
In a typical year, the area experiences a range of seasonal rainfall patterns that contribute to the river's flow dynamics. The Canal de Moca not only serves as a site for local water management but also supports the wider ecological landscape surrounding it.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the Canal de Moca is essential for understanding local hydrological patterns and anticipating changes that might arise from significant weather events. Today's reading from the USGS station indicates the current water level of the canal. Comparing this with the median for the calendar day across the station's historical record provides essential context. This approach helps gauge whether the water levels are higher or lower than typical for this time of year, offering insights relevant for local cottagers, anglers, and residents concerned about flooding risks. Understanding these fluctuations is crucial for maintaining safety and effective water management in the region.
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.
