Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Spring snowmelt causes flooding in rivers?

Yes. A geology textbook and an environment dictionary both state that rapid or spring snowmelt causes flooding in rivers, and an encyclopedia entry says rapid snowmelt can cause flooding. Several regional studies also link spring snowmelt to flooding or peak flows in specific areas.
