water profile
This answer is going to contradict other opinions so far, but I read it as the water profile (of the soil) the plant species/tree needs, not, therefore the "perfil hidrico" (sorry, no accents) of the plant/tree itself.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Sorry for the delay - in the end I kept to the literal translation of water profile and queried with the client. Was hoping they would come back to me, but they haven't as yet."

the way it behaves in water
A bit cumbersome I know, but I can't think of a neater way of saying 'how it behaves in/around water and wet areas', which i think is basically what you're trying to say here, right?
