Abstract

This paper is concerned with an infinite discrete dam fed by inputs which form a moving average sequence. Generating functions are derived for the joint time dependent distribution of the content, accumulated input and total dry time, the distribution of first emptiness, and the stationary content distribution. Also investigated is the problem of first emptiness before overflow for the finite dam.
