Power Distributions of Flooded Areas in Hydrology
An explanation is given to the fact that the cumulative number of damage cases is a decreasing function of the form Y −2/3 . This is because the inundated area S depends on precipitation volume V as S ~ V 2/3 . Such dependence is confirmed by the data on the area of mushroom-shaped plumes at river m...
