You don't need the area to actually have a clue about the significance of a rain event. In the weather news you'll find expressions like "20 mm of rain". 20mm "water table" is the independent from the area as it means the same like 20mm/m² or 20mm/km².

You won't actually calculate the total amount of water (volume) coming down by multiplying it with the area of the rain event.
