New Maps Deliver Current Streamflow Conditions
 Google-Map based Web page to deliver map-based current surface-water resources conditions in Puerto Rico was recently added.
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.

Assessment 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.
