This paper describes the limiting asymptotic behaviour of a long cascade of linear reservoirs fed by stationary inflows into the first reservoir. We show that the storage in the nth reservoir becomes asymptotically deterministic as n → ∞, and establish a central limit theorem for the random fluctuations about the deterministic approximation. In addition, we prove a large deviations theorem that provides precise logarithmic asymptotics for the tail probabilities associated with the storage in the nth reservoir when n is large.

A study is made of the maximum, minimum and range on [0, t] of the integral process where S is a finite state-space Markov chain. Approximate results are derived by establishing weak convergence of a sequence of such processes to a Wiener process. For a particular family of two-state stationary Markov chains we show that the corresponding centered integral processes exhibit the Hurst phenomenon to a remarkable degree in their pre-asymptotic behaviour.
