The Rhine river flows from the Alps to the North Sea.

The Alps, like the Rocky Mountains in the US, carry some serious ammounts of snow that melts in the Spring.

The two majhor rivers on the nort side of the Alps are the Rhine and the Danube.

so when the snow melts these two rivers have to deal with the extra meltwater causing some flooding.
