Deforestation means cutting down the trees. And we know that trees play an essential role in the water cycle as they contribute moisture to the air, bringing rainfall. So if no. of trees decreases the process of transpiration and the water cycle gets disturbed. Hence rainfall will be reduced. Reduced rain will reduce the amount of water absorption in the soil. This soil will be dry and lead to lower water intake in the trees, and because of that, soil erosion will occur, and it will lead to floods.
