Deforestation may lead to floods. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Deforestation leads to frequent floods and droughts. It happens because the soil loses its fertility over time and also water holding capacity of the soil gets reduced. In the presence of trees, the soil has a high water-holding capacity and it reduces the risk of floods in the heavy rainfall.
