In poor countries rapid deforetation has taken place.
Land is now used for framing, settlement and mining etc.
With no trees there is a greater risk of soil erosion as the preciptation is not intercepted.
Flood
damage is greatest near the mouth of a river because wide,flat
floodplains are most susceptible to damage. The volume of water is
greatest here because many tributaires have joined the river.
