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 Patillas Blw Guayama Filtration Plant
Canal de Patillas - a vital waterway amidst Puerto Rico's tropical rhythms.
The Canal de Patillas, located below the Guayama filtration plant in Puerto Rico, serves as an essential water resource in the Southern Puerto Rico watershed. This river, integral to local communities and ecosystems, reflects the dynamics of an environment characterized by heavy rainfall and the potential for rapid hydrological changes.
The watershed context
The watershed feeding the Canal de Patillas is part of Southern Puerto Rico, an area known for its rainfall-driven hydrology. This region experiences year-round precipitation, with flash floods becoming particularly severe during hurricanes and tropical storms. The steep basins in this locale often rise quickly, bringing the river to significant height in a matter of hours.
Surrounding water bodies like the Aes Intake Canal and Canal de Guamani Oeste play pivotal roles in the area. These interconnections provide context to the hydrology at play, with neighboring canals related through a network that allows for the transport and filtration of water resources essential for the local population.
Why the data matters here
The Canal de Patillas is monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which provides critical data on its discharge and hydrological patterns. This real-time data is crucial for managing the water supply, especially because the area is prone to sudden variations in water levels due to its rainfall-driven flooding.
Today's reading from the Canal de Patillas compared to the median for this calendar day over the station's 24 years of historical data helps gauge current conditions. Understanding today's flow in relation to historical averages is vital for local stakeholders, from farmers to flood-watchers, providing context and clarity in an area where water behavior can change swiftly.
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.
