Puerto Rico's reservoirs, every morning

AAA 5:00 AM reading · November 10. Levels in meters above sea level; change is against the previous morning.

How to read the bars

Each bar reads like a fuel gauge: the solid bar is the level on AAA’s chart, and the pale zones behind it are AAA’s alert bands, worst at the left. The red line is labeled with the band the reservoir falls into below that level, and the green number is the full line. The hollow tick marks the level about a week back; the gap to NOW is the drift. Where a row also says “Gauge now”, that is the USGS dam gauge’s latest reading. Tap or select a bar for its exact thresholds.
