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 Turabo above Borinquen
Rio Turabo above Borinquen - a dynamic river responding swiftly to rainfall.
The Rio Turabo flows gracefully above Borinquen, carving its path through the varied landscapes of Eastern Puerto Rico. This river is closely tied to its local watershed and is a vital part of the broader hydrological network that sustains the region. With a drainage area of approximately 7.1 square miles, it captures the almost relentless rainfall characteristic of the tropical environment.
The watershed context
The Eastern Puerto Rico watershed hosts a number of rivers and streams, including notable peers such as Lago Carite at Spillway and Rio Caguitas at Villa Blanca, among others. This region is shaped by steep, short basins that can rise dramatically in response to heavy rainfall, leading to flash floods, particularly during hurricane season or tropical waves. This pattern of rapid hydrological response illustrates the challenges faced by this landscape and its communities.
Why the data matters here
The data collected at the Rio Turabo station by the U.S. Geological Survey is crucial for understanding the river's fluctuations and potential flooding risks. Discharge measurements provide a clear picture of the river’s current state, serving as a warning system for residents and local authorities alike. As of today, the river's level is being tracked and compared against the historical median for this date. This comparison helps gauge current conditions against expected norms, offering insights into seasonal variations and potential anomalies in the river’s behavior. Such information is essential for managing the risks associated with sudden flooding in this rainfall-driven environment.
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.
