RIVER-FLOW AND RESERVOIR STORAGE MODELS

The paper surveys the literature in the two related areas of riverflow modelling and reservoir storage modelling over the past 100 years. In the area of riverflow modelling it describes the salient features of hydrological time-series and shows how hydrologists have tackled the problem of model formulation. In the area of storage theory, it describes how mathematicians have tackled this problem making use of the theory of stochastic processes.
