New Braunfels' air quality benefits from the flat Texas Hill Country position, with vehicle emissions from I-35 and the surrounding tourism and residential growth contributing local sources in this rapidly growing Comal County city. The Guadalupe and Comal rivers provide natural ventilation corridors, while prevailing southerly Gulf breezes provide warm-season ventilation and summer ozone from the broader San Antonio-Austin metropolitan corridor is the primary warm-season concern.
