Monitoring sites are operated in cooperation with various local, State, or Federal agencies. 
Surface WaterPuerto Rico provides real-time water-stage, streamflow and precipitation data at 124 sites across the state. 
Ground Water74 ground-water wells are monitored by the USGS in Puerto Rico. 
Water QualityWater-quality conditions are continuously monitored by the USGS at 53 sites across Puerto Rico Featured ProjectAssessment of Hydrogeologic Conditions of the Punta de Cabullones Area, Puerto Rico
Monitoring station at Cabullones The territorial development plan of Ponce seeks to separate a significant portion of the municipality for conservation purposes on the basis of esthetical, ecological, and hydrological values. Among the areas of the municipality considered for conservation is the Punta de Cabullones area, a unique coastal ecological system made up of channels, a saline-water lagoon, salt flats, and patches of mangrove forests. Quick Access to Real-Time Monitoring NetworksThe USGS Caribbean Water Science Center continuously monitors surface water parameters across Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Haiti. Monitoring sites are operated in cooperation with various local or Federal agencies.
Data via GoogleMapsNew Maps Deliver Current Streamflow Conditions
The maps utilize zoom and pan to allow you to focus in on the water-monitoring sites that interest you. The maps show current streamflow as compared to historical records. By hovering your mouse over a site, a popup box shows the most recent stage and streamflow. Highlighted PublicationsThe Caribbean Water Science Center produces publications about water resources.
