**microscopic organisms that live in the small rivers** **Benthic organism** **what makes life hospitable in the Wolf River?** When the wolf river gets a lot of rain in the wetlands the river has these floodwater. The floodwater are used to store extra water until it can not hold any more water. When the floodwater's are all full that is when a flood occurs. The Wolf River has this purifier underneath the river. the wetland holds the water until it completely absorbs all the pollution out of the water so it can travel through the ground to the filters because the filters are the cleansers of the water that sends the clean water the aquifer.

from my understanding of small rivers is that the small rivers are some what protectors for society because they have purifier underneath them so we can have clean water to drink. They do there best to protects flood cities from serious floods that could destroy or harm families homes and livings.
