Abstract
We shall consider the following model of finite dams: In the time interval (0, ∞) water is flowing into a dam (reservoir) in accordance with a random process. Denote byχ(u) the total quantity of water flowing into the dam in the time interval (0,u). The capacity of the dam is a finite positive numberm.If the dam becomes full, the excess water overflows. If the dam is not empty, there is a continuous release at a constant unit rate. Denote byη(t) the content of the dam at timet.Keywords
