Abstract
It is argued that the essence of all reservoir storage models, whether deterministic or stochastic, is the continuity and dynamic equations, both in a very simplified form. The proliferation of storage models is traced to unrecognized redundancies arising as a consequence of language barriers, specialized jargons, and limited knowledge and understanding of published work. Examples of some redundancies are shown in detail and the effective identity of models involving reservoir routing, rule-curve regulation, and any type of operation policy is demonstrated.
