Extract

Gani and Prabhu (1) have presented a general theory of storage for dams subject to a steady release. At time t ≥ 0, let a dam of infinite capacity have a continuous random content Z(t) ≥ 0; the input X(t) ≥ 0 which has entered it during time t follows an infinitely divisible distribution, while the dam is subject to a steady release at constant unit rate except if it is empty, when the release ceases. A procedure is obtained whereby various functions describing the transient behaviour of Z(t) can be calculated in principle.
