recurring alternating cycles/periods of (flooding and drought)
I have normally seen this word in political contexts to refer to alternating political regimes but here it just means that there is a constant pattern of floods followed by droughts followed by floods etc.
Example sentence:

Following deforestation and rapid development in the early 1900s, the Grand entered a period of alternating flooding and droughts.
