Deforestation increases precipitation...?

From an essay on recent floods in China and how these event are related to global climate change...

"Human induced global warming is expected to increase precipitation. This is caused mainly by deforestation that can have a big impact as upland forests can soak up lots of water, but as humans destroy these areas, the water has more land it can run to."


Seriously!? You learn something new everyday.
