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 Yauco above Diversion Monserrate near Yauco
Rio Yauco - a vital lifeline in Southern Puerto Rico.
The Rio Yauco above Diversion Monserrate near Yauco plays an essential role in the intricate water system of Southern Puerto Rico. This river, part of the region’s complex tropical hydrology, reacts swiftly to the dynamics of rainfall and weather patterns, shaping both the landscape and the lives of those in its vicinity.
The watershed context
Draining roughly 32 square miles above the station, the Rio Yauco is susceptible to rapid changes, especially during the rainy season. With rainfall-driven flash floods a common occurrence throughout the year, these conditions are amplified during hurricane season, making it crucial for nearby residents to stay alert. The steep, short basins characteristic of this region can respond dramatically to sudden rainfall events, leading to swift rises in water levels.
Adjacent rivers such as the Aes Intake Canal and various segments of the Canal de Juana Diaz reflect similar hydrological behaviors. They share hydrological characteristics that underscore the challenges and opportunities experienced in Southern Puerto Rico, highlighting how interconnected this waterway system really is.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the current conditions of the Rio Yauco is vital. As observed in real-time measurements from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), these readings inform local stakeholders, including residents, agricultural planners, and emergency services. They provide critical information that allows for timely responses to potential flooding events.
Today’s reading at the Rio Yauco shows current water levels compared to the median for this calendar day across the station's 50 years of historical data. Analyzing these levels against the median provides a clearer picture of the river's behavior over time, helping communities prepare for and respond to variations in water flow. The river's reading helps anticipate conditions that may affect surrounding ecosystems and human activities, reinforcing its role in both local ecology and daily life.
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.
