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 Rio Culebrinas at Highway 404 near Moca
Rio Culebrinas - A dynamic river shaped by tropical rainfall.
The Rio Culebrinas at Highway 404 near Moca is a vital waterway situated in the lush province of Puerto Rico. Flowing through a region characterized by its tropical island hydrology, the river serves as an important component of the Culebrinas-Guanajibo watershed. With its drainage area encompassing roughly 71 square miles, the Rio Culebrinas demonstrates the intense fluctuations typical of rainfall-driven systems in this part of the world.
The watershed context
The Culebrinas-Guanajibo watershed is defined by steep and short basins, producing rapid flow responses to heavy rainfall events. This area is prone to flash floods, particularly intensified by hurricanes and tropical waves, which can lead to dramatically increased water levels within hours. The Rio Culebrinas is flanked by other waterways, such as the Canal de Riego de Lajas and the Rio Grande de Anasco, all of which create a network of rivers that feed the surrounding landscapes.
The watershed not only supports the surrounding ecosystems but also plays a critical role in local agriculture and water management strategies in the community. Residents and farmers alike depend on the river for irrigation, and its health directly impacts their livelihoods.
Why the data matters here
Today, the US Geological Survey (USGS) reports the Rio Culebrinas at Highway 404 near Moca, PR is operating reliably with a discharge measurement available. When considering the significance of current data, today's river gauge reading is essential for understanding immediate water conditions against historical trends. This gauge offers a clearer perspective than just raw elevation figures alone. By comparing today's reading with the median for this calendar day over the past 50 years, stakeholders can better gauge flood risks or assess low-flow conditions. This data becomes indispensable for residents, anglers, and land managers in a region where water levels can shift dramatically in response to rainfall.
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.
