In the winter, snow and ice accumulates in the mountains where a number of the Nile's tributaries begin. When the spring comes and this frozen water thaws, it increases the amount of water in the Nile River, causing it to overflow its banks.
Note: The Nile no longer exhibits this behavior in most of Egypt due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam which effectively holds back the additional water.
