Abstract
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 ~ V2/3. 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.
