Two methods of computing the capacity of a reservoir are discussed. In the first method suppose that inputs into the reservoir during successive periods of fixed lengths are independently and identically distributed and that the supplies or releases from it are at the unit rate. Assume that the input is a scarce commodity and that the input rate is less than the supply rate. We then use the mean emptiness period of the reservoir for computing its capacity. In particular the capacity has been determined for geometric, binomial and exponential inputs. The second method is that of simulation for gamma type Markov autoregressive inputs and content‐dependent supplies.
