Rivers typically flood in the spring due to a combination of snowmelt and increased rainfall. As temperatures rise, melting snow from mountains and higher elevations can overwhelm river systems, leading to elevated water levels. Additionally, spring rains can contribute to saturated ground conditions, preventing further absorption and resulting in runoff that feeds into rivers. These factors combined create a higher risk of flooding during this season.
