✴The forests prevent floods by the following ways:-
✔By intersecting the flow of rain drops, thus checking the flow of rainwater on the forest floor.
✔By absorbing rainwater and allowing it to seep under soil, thus recharging the water table.
✔The roots of the trees bind the soil and prevent it from being washed away.
✴Thus, forests hold the soil which in turn control the floods.

Question : Explain how forests prevent floods.
Answer: Forest acts as a natural absorber of water. It allows rain water to seep through. In the absence of trees, the rain water would hit the ground directly resulting in flood.
However, because of the presence of trees, rain water does not hit the ground directly. It rather hits the ground slowly. Hence, before flooding, all the rain water seeps through ground. In this way, forests prevent floods.
