Question

1994
The overall long-term trend of the peak discharge for the Red River is
decreasing; even though some years are bigger, in general the flooding is not as
bad as it was when we first started watching this river.
nonsense; this graph is about flood damage, not peak discharge.
no correlation; some years have big floods while other years have small floods.
O increasing; even though some years are smaller, in general the flooding is worse
now then when we first started watching this river.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Discharge is described as the total volume of water transported through a cross-sectional area at a given time. The unit of discharge is ft³/sec or m³/sec.

As the discharge of a river increases, the possibility of flooding also increases. We are given the time-series plot of the Red River to determine the qualitative trend of discharge.
