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 Guanajibo near Hormigueros
Rio Guanajibo - A dynamic river in the heart of Puerto Rico.
The Rio Guanajibo flows through Hormigueros, offering a vital connection within the Culebrinas-Guanajibo watershed. This river and its tributaries play an essential role in the local hydrological landscape, with a drainage area of approximately 120 square miles feeding into the system. Known for its quick-response to rainfall, the Rio Guanajibo exemplifies the tropical island hydrology typical of Puerto Rico, characterized by rapid changes in water levels.
The watershed context
The Culebrinas-Guanajibo watershed is a rich network of rivers and streams that manage substantial rainfall, especially during the tropical storm season. It is not uncommon for the rivers in this region to undergo significant flooding within a short period, a result of intense rainfall events. The area is interconnected with several other notable waterways, including the Rio Culebrinas and the Rio Grande de Anasco, helping to manage and transport water throughout the landscape.
Each rainfall event has the potential to cause flash floods, making the health and management of the Rio Guanajibo of paramount importance to local residents and ecosystems alike. The collaborative influence of neighboring rivers helps to mitigate floods and supports the overall resilience of the watershed.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring water levels at the Rio Guanajibo is crucial, especially given the volatile nature of its hydrology. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides essential data that helps to track elevation changes, offering a clearer picture of current conditions in relation to historical records. Today’s reading, when compared to the median for this date over the past 50 years, provides critical insights for farmers, flood-watchers, and community members. This context is particularly valuable because it allows for informed decisions and swift responses amid the unpredictable weather patterns characteristic of Puerto Rico’s tropical climate.
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.
