deforestation causes floods and droughts
deforestation plays many roles in the flooding equation because trees prevent sediment runoffs and forests hold more water than farms or grasslands the flood equation is simple if river cannot hold the water it will rise above its banks.this is how flood occurs.
trees reduce the damage caused by droughts and floods when the people cut down trees for fuels and other things there is nothing to hold down the soil
thats how deforestation causes floods and droughts
