A dam is considered with independently and identically distributed inputs occurring in a renewal process, and in particular a Poisson process, with a general release rate r(·) depending on the content. This is related to a GI/G/1 queue with service times dependent on the waiting time. Some results are obtained for the limiting content distribution when it exists; these are more complete for some special release rates, such as r(x) = μxα and r(x) = a + μx, and particular input size distributions.
