The volume of water retained by forests can depend on characteristics such as forest cover area, the length of vegetation growing season, tree composition and tree density, as well as the age and the number of layers of vegetation cover. Water retention by forests affects the amount and timing of the water delivered to streams and groundwater by increasing and maintaining infiltration and storage capacity of the soil. Forests can soak up excess rainwater, preventing run-offs and damage from flooding. By releasing water in the dry season, forests can also help provide clean water and mitigate the effects of droughts.

Forests and vegetation are very important part of the ecosystem !
It's is believed by the observation of science that wherever there are trees the Rainfall is high in such areas !
Another reason is that Trees can take in a lot of water so the water is stored in the form of ground water !
Thus Vegetation help in reducing droughts !

I hope it helps !
