Abstract
LET the content 0 ⩽ Z(t) < ∞ of a dam at time t ⩾ 0, fed by an input 0 ⩽ X(t) < ∞ in time t, and subject to a steady release at constant unit rate, be defined by the equation : 
where ηδt(0 ⩽η⩽1) is the time during t, t + δt that the dam is empty. X(t) is such that the arrival times of inputs form a Poisson process with parameter λ, the inputs themselves being of constant sizes α1, α2, and always arriving in this order (α1, α2 > 0).
