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 Moca above Aguadilla Plant, Aguadilla
Canal Moca above Aguadilla Plant - a vital waterway in a dynamic hydrological environment.
The Canal Moca flows through Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, providing critical water resources within the Cibuco-Guajataca watershed. This river is part of a complex network of waterways, including prominent peers like Canal de Aguadilla and Canal Principal Diversion. Given the tropical island hydrology of Puerto Rico, rainfall patterns dictate the flow of this river, leading to rapid changes in water levels, particularly during intense weather events.
The watershed context
The Cibuco-Guajataca watershed is shaped by the tropical climate of Puerto Rico, resulting in a unique rainfall-driven hydrology. Flash floods are common throughout the year, often escalating dramatically with hurricanes and tropical waves. The steep short basins characteristic of this region can lead to sudden surges in water levels, making understanding the data all the more important for local residents and water management efforts.
The Canal Moca serves as a crucial channel for monitoring the hydrological dynamics of the area, influencing both ecological and human activities. Engaging with the flow data from stations like this one aids in enhancing our understanding of interconnected waters in this coastal environment.
Why the data matters here
Current data from the USGS station at Canal Moca provides vital insights into the river's flow conditions. Regular monitoring can help predict flooding potential, making it essential for residents and local authorities to stay informed. Today's flow reading, when compared against the historical median for this calendar day, will give a clearer picture of how water levels are behaving relative to average conditions over the past 17 years. This perspective is more insightful than looking at raw elevation figures because it accounts for seasonal fluctuations and historical patterns, allowing for more informed decisions in a watershed sensitive to rapid hydrological changes.
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.
