    Yes, deforestation is one of the main factor of causing flood in Pakistan. 2.2% or about 1,687,000 ha of Pakistan is forested, according to FAO. Pakistan had 340,000 ha of planted forest. Between 1990 and 2010, Pakistan lost an average of 42,000 ha or 1.66% per year. In total, between 1990 and 2010, Pakistan lost 33.2% of its forest cover or around 840,000 ha. So, as the cutting of forests increased so much it causes soil erosion and also increases the chances of flood.
