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 Riego de Lajas Blw Majinas Filt. Plant PR
Canal de Riego de Lajas Blw Majinas Filt. Plant PR - A vital channel for Southern Puerto Rico's agricultural landscape.
The Canal de Riego de Lajas, located in Puerto Rico, serves as a significant irrigation channel in the Southern Puerto Rico watershed. As part of a network of canals, this watercourse is essential for managing the agricultural needs of the surrounding area, supporting crops during the region's dynamic weather patterns. The proximity of tropical systems can lead to rapid changes in water levels, underscoring the canal's importance in managing both water supply and potential flood risks.
The watershed context
The Southern Puerto Rico watershed encompasses a series of interconnected canals, each contributing to the irrigation and water management strategies employed in this agriculturally rich region. The Canal de Riego de Lajas functions within this network, working alongside peers like the Aes Intake Canal and the Canal de Juana Diaz. These canals are designed to efficiently transport water, particularly in response to the rainfall-driven hydrology typically seen across the island.
Given Puerto Rico's tropical climate, seasonal rainfall can inundate these short basins quickly, making effective management of the canal's flow essential. This channel not only aids in irrigation but also plays a crucial role in mitigating flash flood risks inherent to the region, especially during the stormy season.
Why the data matters here
Real-time data from the Canal de Riego de Lajas, monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), provides valuable insight into the current conditions of this essential waterway. The gauge tracks both the water level and flow, enabling stakeholders to respond to rapid changes due to rainfall or other hydrological factors. Today's reading can be compared against the median for this calendar day across the station's historical record spanning over 21 years. This understanding is vital, as it reflects not only current conditions but also provides context for assessing potential impacts on agricultural activities and flood risks. By prioritizing gauge data over mere elevation readings, stakeholders can make more informed decisions that align with the unique climatology of Puerto Rico.
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.
