Question

Explain how forests prevent floods

Answer 1

Forest acts as a natural absorber of rainwater and allows it to seep because of roots of trees.

When rainwater falls on leaves of trees and plants, it does not fall directly on the ground. It drips slowly on the forest ground (does not stagnate) and hence prevent floods.

It helps in controlling the flow of water and slows it down which helps in preventing flood. Also, the trees present in the forest prevents the rain from directly hitting the ground and bind the soil together which helps in absorption of the rain water and thus prevent flood.
