Erosion, loss of groundwater feeding mechanism and increase in runoff
Explanation:
When humans remove vegetation in a place, water will drop at a higher velocity to the soil. Therefore, erosion rate increases.
Groundwater will be hardly fed due to loss of vegetation.
Evaporation will be higher. Runoff (surface) and floods will be higher.
