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 Marin near Patillas
Rio Marin - A vital waterway in Southern Puerto Rico.
The Rio Marin flows near Patillas, Puerto Rico, serving as an important river that captures local rainfall and guides it through the Southern Puerto Rico watershed. In this region, weather patterns can lead to rapid increases in water levels due to tropical rainstorms, making the Rio Marin an essential lifeline for the surrounding ecosystems and communities. This area typically experiences rainfall-driven flash floods year-round, often intensified by hurricanes and tropical waves.
The watershed context
Draining roughly 4.1 square miles upstream of the gauge, the Rio Marin is part of a network that includes several peers such as the Aes Intake Canal at Canal de Patillas and Canal de Juana Diaz, among others. These waterways are interconnected, contributing to the region’s overall riverine health and flow dynamics. Given the steep basins typical of tropical island hydrology, water levels can fluctuate dramatically in a short time, affecting not just the river itself but the surrounding landscape and biodiversity.
Why the data matters here
Real-time monitoring of the Rio Marin, handled by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), is crucial for understanding its flow and flood patterns. Today's data will compare the current reading against the historical median for this date, providing essential insights into how the river is behaving relative to typical annual trends. This data is invaluable for residents, farmers, and anyone relying on these waters for their livelihood and safety, especially in a region where rainfall can quickly lead to significant changes.
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.
