Lead: The lead on the existing article is a bit long, so if you wanted to shorten that and move some of the information to a new section that would improve the structure of the article. Make sure to add a couple sentences to the lead giving an overview of the sections that you added.

Content: The content is relevant and well-written. The sections you've added help to provide a better description of freshets. Here are some specific suggestions: (my suggestions are in brackets [ ])

"There are some species of fish that are less effected from [replace "effected from" with "affected by"] freshets than others."

[Link to page of Goby and/or Pomatoschistu.]

"The benthic-estuarine species seem to better cope with freshets, some have even showed an attraction effect due to the extent of estuarine cues." [I'm not sure what you mean by this, could you expand on what you mean by estuarine cues?]

"This is due to multiple factors, some include, but not limited to: differentiation in species [delete "some include, but not limited to: differentiation in species" replace with "including species differences in"] biological anatomy, previous migration patterns, mating seasons, and feeding habits."

[Link to page on Ammonia "beccarii" forma 1 and include a brief description of what this is (is it a fish?)]

Tone and Balance: The tone of this article is neutral and you present information on the most relevant subtopics. The only suggestion I have for improving balance is to discuss more historical freshets outside of North America in the "History" section. Assuming there were historically important freshets and you can find information on them outside North America, this would reduce the bias in this article and address events that may have affected historically marginalized people.

Sources and References: There are a variety of sources which is great. If you have some more current sources that would be nice to add to make sure the article has the most up-to-date information.

Organization: Overall the organization of this article is good, but I have a few suggestions. I suggest renaming the "History" sections something like "Historically Significant Freshets" to better reflect the content of this section. The last paragraph "Freshets may cause catastrophic changes to society..." seems a bit out of place. Maybe it would fit better in the History section?

Images and Media: The images in this article help to improve the reader's understanding of freshets and look great.

Overall: Great start on your draft! Your tone is balanced and neutral and you picked some great subtopics to further expand on to add to the Wikipedia article. Your use of a variety of sources is great. I suggest reading through your draft again and double checking your grammar. Overall your article looks great!
