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).

Explanation:
When the forest trees are cut down,the percolation of rain water into soil is reduced. A lot of rain water from deforested soil rushes into the rivers quickly,causing floods. Deforestation decreases the water holding capacity of soil which leads to floods.
