Why forest loss is making our watersheds leak rain #environment

Why forest loss is making our watersheds leak rain
It's a well-established fact that forests and water are deeply connected. For decades, paired-watershed experiments—a scientific method for evaluating land-use impacts on water quantity or quality—have shown that when we lose forests, the total amount of water flowing through our rivers tends to rise.
