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 Margarita Damsite near Aguada
Rio Culebrinas - A dynamic river influenced by tropical rainfall.
The Rio Culebrinas flows through a region where weather patterns and topography create a dynamic hydrological environment. Nestled near Aguada, this river showcases the characteristics of tropical island hydrology, with its flow heavily influenced by seasonal rainfall. The area experiences flash floods throughout the year, with the most intense conditions arising during hurricanes and tropical waves that can rapidly swell the river's flow.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the flow of the Rio Culebrinas is crucial for local residents and stakeholders alike. The gauge here, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has been recording data for over 28 years. This long-term dataset provides valuable insight into the river's behavior, particularly in relation to rainfall and flood events.
Today's reading is critical as it allows comparisons against the median for this date in its historical record, giving a clearer picture of how current conditions stack up. This context is essential for assessing flood risk and water management in the surrounding communities, especially given the potential for rapid changes in the river's level. By monitoring and interpreting this data, local residents can better prepare for the challenges posed by the region's unpredictable weather.
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.
