Question

We have Read about floods being caused by deforestion .Explain how?​

Answer 1

Due to deforestation, the water holding capacity of the soil decreases. The roots of the trees get dried after they're cut down. The movement of water through trees into the soil slows down. The water of the rainfall collects on the surface which results in flood.

Answer 2

Answer:

Deforestation plays several roles in the flooding equation because trees prevent sediment runoff and forests hold and use more water than farms or grasslands. Some rainwater stays on the leaves, and it may evaporate directly to the air (the more water used in the watershed, the less remains to run off).
