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 Guayanilla near Guayanilla
Rio Guayanilla - A Rainfall-Driven Waterway.
The Rio Guayanilla flows near Guayanilla, Puerto Rico, carving through the landscape of Southern Puerto Rico. This river serves as an essential artery within its watershed, characterized by conditions shaped by the island's tropical climate. Tropical island hydrology leads to a dynamic and responsive watercourse, where rainfall can drive rapid changes, including the potential for flash floods.
The watershed context
The Rio Guayanilla is part of the Southern Puerto Rico watershed, draining roughly 48 square kilometres (approximately 18.9 square miles) above the USGS gauging station. This region features several nearby water bodies, including the Aes Intake Canal and various segments of the Canal de Juana Diaz, all of which share the characteristics of a watershed heavily influenced by rainfall. Given this tropical environment, rainfall patterns are critical, with significant precipitation capable of leading to swift rises in water levels. During hurricane season and tropical weather events, the river and its tributaries can experience dramatic fluctuations, necessitating close monitoring.
Why the data matters here
Daily observations from the USGS gauge at the Rio Guayanilla provide vital information about the river's current status. Today's reading can be understood better when compared to the median data for this calendar day across the station's historical record of over 45 years. This comparison is key to recognizing the dynamics of the river over time and understanding its behavior in response to rainfall events. Such insights are invaluable for local communities, enabling them to prepare for potential flooding or changes in water availability. As inhabitants of this rainfall-driven region, staying informed through our water intelligence platform can aid in navigating the specific challenges posed by the Rio Guayanilla's hydrology.
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.
