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...

Zusammenfassung: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 mouths in the sites of river influx into the ocean.
