How is water shortage a consequence of Soil Erosion?
Also, why would it cause the displancement of people?

since the soil is gone, people cant farm anymore, they have to migrate

water shortage because since there are no trees, there is less evapotranspiration, so less rainfall, resulting in water shortage. all the water that does come down is lost as trees are no longer there to store it.
