While vegetation needs a lot of water, vegetation reject a lot of water also. Because of respiration(6 CO2 + 12 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O), plants recirculate water and provide water for more plants. Deforestation stop this recirculation of water, that's why it's a major problem.

Actually the collapse of the Amazon rainforest (and the Boreal forest) is a likely consequence of about 3 degrees of warming. Give or take half a degree.
