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 Jacaguas at Juana Diaz
Rio Jacaguas - A vital waterway in Southern Puerto Rico.
The Rio Jacaguas flows through Juana Diaz, contributing significantly to the region's hydrology. This river is part of the Southern Puerto Rico watershed, draining approximately 51.5 square miles above the USGS monitoring station. The catchment area is particularly responsive to the rainfall-driven hydrology characteristic of tropical islands, which can lead to rapid changes in water levels.
## The watershed context The Southern Puerto Rico watershed encompasses several nearby water bodies, including the Aes Intake Canal and various segments of the Canal de Juana Diaz. This network of rivers and canals supports a rich tapestry of ecological interactions, while also serving practical needs such as irrigation and water supply. Given the steep topography and short basins typical of this area, the Rio Jacaguas can experience flash floods, especially during heavy rainfall events associated with hurricanes and tropical waves.
## Why the data matters here Water levels at the Rio Jacaguas are monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), providing vital information concerning river conditions, flood risks, and overall watershed health. Today's water level reading is important, as it compares to the median for this calendar day based on 42 years of historical data. This comparison helps predict trends and better understand the river's behavior over time, making it a crucial resource for locals and stakeholders who rely on accurate water information for various activities, from agriculture to flood management.
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.
