Abstract
- The utilisation factor for a discrete dam, defined as the stationary probability of non-emptiness of the dam just before release, is obtained for a class of models that includes the Odoom–Lloyd model, the Anis–Lloyd model, the model of Herbert, etc. The method used points to a different approach to measuring dam utilisation via the actual utilisation, which appears to be more fruitful, and this is discussed in the last section.
