Trees naturally take in a lot of water so stabilizes the amount of water in the environment, no excess and no scarcity.

If flood happens; from the direction of woods for example or where there are trees planted together in a group, then they act as a barrier and slow down the speed of water to less than half and water uptake increases so less water comes out from the other side.

Water plays a very vital role in preventing erosion and these were only a few.!!

The water rests on the trees and then evaporates instead of going to the ground and flooding

It can ruin the wood by rotting from all the water it absorbs.

Plants: Plants do need water but they die if they get too much water. And the water will take nutrients away from the soil causing plants to die.

Animals: They would drown and die.
