Question
Part 1 - Define the term hydroperiod. Graph or describe the hydroperiods of a) a tidal marsh in New England, b) a bottomland hardwood forest in a region that gets heavy rains in spring but no rain the rest of the year, and c) a groundwater-fed marsh. Part 2 - Occasionally you will hear news of a "1000-year flood event" (no, that's not a typo) in a particular river. Explain what a "1000-year flood" is and why it is possible to have more than one in your lifetime. Part 1 - Define the term hydroperiod.

1. seasonal pattern of water level influenced by the water budget and land's storage capacity is called hydroperiod. wetlands refers the area which is covered by the water or the flooded region. storage capcity of wetland fluctuated on daily basis in coastal area due to tides and in inland flutuate only on greater degree or seasonally. and water budget is al about the net flow of water morever result of all inflow and outflow of the water. storage capacity of the water is based on the geology and soil of that area.
a) a marsh occur on the side of a river or coastal areas is called tidal marsh. because water source is so near to the region wetland water level will fluctuate on daily basis on the coastal zone and on the river side's region will flutuate on the rainy season when level of river water will be high.
b) when heavy rain occurs wetalnd of that forested region recharged and water levelo will be hiest in this region then it will decrease continuously, and water table will also decreased with the time.
c) fed marsh having a switch grass , cyprus trees, and other aquatic plants. these all plants take water from the groundwater and water level overall depend on the rainfall. if rainfall is hevier then groundwater level will be high but if the rainfall is low then groundwater level will be low.
