hintHint:

Deforestation

The correct answer is: Deforestation


    • Deforestation is the cause for floods.
    • 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.
