3. The Alamo – Floodwaters and Erosion
The Alamo, a symbol of Texas resilience, faces a persistent foe: flooding from the San Antonio River. Repeated deluges have weakened foundations and caused erosion of its historic limestone walls. Ongoing preservation efforts aim to protect this landmark, employing advanced drainage and stabilization techniques. Like other Spanish missions in flood-prone regions, the Alamo’s survival depends on adapting to the constant threat of rising waters. Learn more from the San Antonio Report.
