However, a large water storage project is in the works with the San Antonio Water System's Aquifer Storage and Recovery Project , scheduled to come online by 2003. This section of Leon Creek in northwest Bexar county near I-10 hardly ever flows. After a major rain, it may flow for several days. In the past most of this water would have recharged the Aquifer, but in this particular location recharge conduits are choked off from sediments resulting from years of quarrying activity in what is now Fiesta Texas theme park. A small tributary is seen here entering from the right.
Water often flows in well-defined conduits within the limestone.
This one, severed by a roadcut, flows intermittently when rainfall is very intense.
