deforestation is mainly due to progressive industralism and modernization; the wood that they cut are used for commercial purposes. meanwhile, industrialism forces the agricultural sector of societies to search for new land because their industrial lands are used for building new infrastructures, thus forcing them to try and make a living out of these "deforested" lands. depending on the setting, the effects of deforestation can go from bad to worse to worst; however, it would definitely distort the balance in nature. if the forest is near a place where rain is common, deforestation could give way to floods, and eventually, destruction of communities. forests near slightly urbanized areas protect the place from air pollution, therefore the cutting down of trees there could be the cause of sickness and death in that locale.

lower rainfall; lower water yields from springs and streams; major floods; extreme sedimentation and hence the chocking of reservoirs and irrigation canals, etc.
