How does farming cause floods

1 Answer

Scientists agree, claiming that dust storms caused by acute drought and this year's deluge are both related to how farmers plant their crops.

"The soil functions like a living sponge." As a result, it takes in and filters out any toxins found in that water system. Candy Thomas, a soil health specialist with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in Salina, Kansas, added, "It also traps and stores water."

I hope this helps you
