Deforestation leads to silting by removing trees that stabilize the soil and maintain its structure. Without vegetation, soil becomes more susceptible to erosion from rain and wind, causing sediment to wash into rivers and streams. This increased sedimentation can clog waterways, disrupt aquatic ecosystems, and reduce water quality. Ultimately, the loss of trees accelerates the natural processes that contribute to silting and sediment buildup in water bodies.
What else can I help you with?
What is silting of lake?
Silting of a lake is when very fine particles of sand or clay fill the bed of the lake. The bed of the lake rises, which can cause flooding.
How is silting of rivers and dams an effect of deforestation?
Removing the forest vegetation increases soil erosion. That soil is washed out into waterways when it rains, increasing the particulate matter in waterways.

Why is reforestation effort to save the environment?
Reforestation benefits the environment by reversing the effects of deforestation. Deforestation is the destruction of forests. In brief, deforestation: * reduces the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphereby photosynthesis * increases the amount of carbon dioxide released into the environment from burning and decay * reduces the amount of moisture released into the atmosphere by transpiration * increases the loss of soil by erosion * increases the silting up of rivers etc from soil erosion * extinction of species which inhabit forests (reduced biodiversity) * contributes to desertification For a very clear summary of deforestation and its effects see: http://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/Envfacts/facts/deforestation.htm
