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 Limon above Lago Dos Bocas
Rio Limon - A vital river with rapid response to rainfall.
The Rio Limon above Lago Dos Bocas flows gracefully through the lush landscape of Puerto Rico, nestled in the Cibuco-Guajataca watershed. With a drainage area of approximately 31.5 square miles above the station, it plays an essential role in managing the region’s water flow, especially during intense rainfall events characteristic of the tropical climate.
The watershed context
This river is part of a network that includes several notable peers, such as the Canal de Aguadilla and Lago Guerrero, each contributing to the overall hydrology of the area. The steep, short basins surrounding the Rio Limon enable the river to respond rapidly to rainfall, a common feature in tropical island hydrology. Flash floods can occur swiftly as the weather changes, reinforcing the importance of real-time monitoring and data collection for those living near or depending on its resources.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring stations like the one for the Rio Limon, operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), not only provide valuable river levels but also measure discharge, which is crucial for flood forecasting and ecological management. Today's reading, when compared to the median for this date across 27 years of collected data, offers insights into the current state of the river. This context is vital, as it allows stakeholders to assess whether the river's flow levels are typical for this time of year or if unusual conditions are developing. Understanding these variations against historical data empowers cottagers, farmers, and local communities to make informed decisions about water use and safety in times of heightened risk.
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.
