B.M. Troutman V.K. Gupta S.A. Veitzer 2003 The significance of power-law tail probabilities of drainage areas in river basins was discussed. The convergence to a power law was not observed for all underlying distributions, but for a large class of statistical distributions with specific limiting properties. The article also discussed about the scaling properties of topologic and geometric network properties in river basins. application/pdf en Power-law tail probabilities of drainage areas in river basins article
