Forest help in recharging groundwater level by preventing runoff, transpiration which further leads to precipitation and less evaporation. Also It absorb rainwater and increase the groundwater level.
Explanation:
- Planting trees or aforestation is directly linked to the level of groundwater level.
- When we plant several trees, the roots grow inside the soil and bind the soil tightly.
- Thus when rainfall occurs the trees block the water from being runoff and the water thus infiltrates and increases the groundwater level.
- Apart from that trees maintain a cool and optimum atmosphere thus reducing the chances of evaporation which is a loss of water.
- Lastly, plants undergo transpiration which is the process via which they breathe.
- As transpiration vapour is released in the atmosphere, it further forms clouds which results in rainfall and the whole cycle starts again.
- In this way it again recharges the groundwater level.
