The water cycle is critical not only to weather, but to life on earth. Rain is necessary for the survival of plants and humans. Condensation is necessary for cloud formation. Evaporation is necessary to cooling and keeping a good balance of water vapor in the air.
Severe flooding is a result of deforestation because removal of the forest leaves little vegetative cover to hold heavy rains. The inability of land void of forest to hold heavy rain water will also trigger mudslides like the ones that have occurred in recent years in California, China and other parts of the world.n a healthy forest about three fourth of the intercepted water is returned to the atmosphere as moisture laden air masses which move inland, cool and are converted to rain. Land cleared by deforestation returns only about one fourth of the rain water to the atmosphere.
