The best word to describe this scenario is disturbance. This is because the flooding alters the environment, affecting the organisms living in the area and prompting some to move to survive.
Consider the following scenario:
Every year, the tropical rain forest has a rainy season. The forest floor floods, covering once dry areas with water. Some organisms are unable to tolerate the increased water, so they have to move to other locations to survive.
