            Abstract : 
The author develops a model to evaluate the reliability measures of a Moran reservoir with respect to the reservoir level (that is, with respect to the occurrence of reservoir emptiness), and with respect to the continuity of the output flow (i.e. with respect to the occurrence of no output flow). For a binary input, the most usual case in practice, simple explicit formulas are derived. Some numerical examples are given for illustration
