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 Principal Diversion above. Lago Guerrero
Canal Principal Diversion above Lago Guerrero - A critical waterway in Puerto Rico's tropical landscape.
The Canal Principal Diversion above Lago Guerrero is a vital conduit in the Cibuco-Guajataca watershed, contributing to the distinctive hydrology of Puerto Rico. This river channel plays an essential role in managing the water flow that influences both local ecosystems and agricultural activities within the region.
Why the data matters here
Current measurements at this station are crucial for understanding the hydrological dynamics of a region that experiences rainfall-driven flash floods throughout the year. Given Puerto Rico's tropical climate, these flash floods can escalate rapidly, particularly during hurricane events. The data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at this site informs flood forecasting and water resource management decisions that affect the community and natural environment.
With a measurement history of over seven years, trends derived from this data enable effective planning for both potential flood events and periods of low water availability, ensuring residents, farmers, and local ecosystems can respond appropriately. The importance of this information cannot be overstated, as it guides both immediate responses to rainfall events and long-term water management strategies.
Today's reading at the Canal Principal Diversion is a critical piece of data when compared to the median for this calendar day across the station’s historical record. By understanding today's measurements in context, stakeholders can gain insights into unusual fluctuations in water levels that may indicate broader environmental changes or upcoming weather challenges. This data contributes to making informed decisions in flood-prone areas, helping safeguard lives and livelihoods in this vibrant 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.
