Original Note:
Well yes. Deforestation increases the risk of flooding by removing trees that absorb and disperse rainwater. Without trees, the ground becomes less capable of soaking up water, leading to more runoff into rivers and streams. https://www.emission-index.com/deforestation/flooding https://www.earthreminder.com/how-does-deforestation-lead-to-floods-and-droughts/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221242092300225X#:~:text=Flood%20events%20are%20often%20associated,retention%20%5B16%2C17%5D.
