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 de Bayamon near Bayamon
Rio de Bayamon - a vibrant watercourse in Eastern Puerto Rico.
The Rio de Bayamon flows through the heart of Bayamon, a significant river in the Eastern Puerto Rico watershed. This river plays a crucial role in the local hydrology, characterized by its rapid response to rainfall, which is typical of the island's tropical climate. This dynamic waterway is an essential resource for both ecological sustainability and community resilience.
The watershed context
Draining approximately 41.8 square miles (about 108 square kilometers) above the measurement station, the Rio de Bayamon gathers water from steep basins that rise quickly during rain events. Puerto Rico's tropical island hydrology leads to flash floods that can occur year-round, particularly intensified by hurricanes and tropical waves. These severe weather patterns accentuate the importance of understanding river flow dynamics in the region, where the capacity to rapidly gauge flood risks is essential for local communities.
The Rio de Bayamon is complemented by nearby water bodies, including Lago Carite and Quebrada Grande, among others. Together, they form a network of streams and rivers vital for maintaining the ecological balance of the region.
Why the data matters here
Today's water level reading at the Rio de Bayamon provides valuable insights compared to the historical median for this date, tracked over 38 years of data by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Understanding how current measurements relate to median levels assists in anticipating potential flood conditions, given the region's susceptibility to rapid changes in water levels. Monitoring this data is essential for local stakeholders—residents, farmers, and emergency services—enabling them to make informed decisions in the face of variable weather patterns and flood risks.
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.
