A flood is an overflow of water onto normally dry land. This phenomenon can occur due to various factors, including: 1. **Excessive Rainfall**: Heavy precipitation over a short period can overwhelm drainage systems and natural waterways. 2. **Snowmelt**: The melting of snow, particularly during spring, can lead to sudden increases in water levels in rivers and streams.
