The effects on reservoir yield of the magnitude of the serial correlation of inflows are determined for a highly simplified situation in which inflows are normally distributed and do not exhibit seasonal variation. The results are obtained by simulation with large samples and are presented in the form of graphs showing the relationships between dimensionless variables.
