The cyst banks in sediment contain cysts derived from overlapping generations of free-swimming organisms. For this reason, at any one time, cyst banks host a wider genetic diversity than is found in water column communities (Gyllström & Hansson 2004). Cyst banks actually produce a generation overlap which, together with environmental fluctuations, can maintain species coexistence in a different interpretation of the so-called Storage Effect of Chesson & Warner (1981).

If detailed information on the spillway of a dam can be obtained, it is thought that the storage effect will provide an accurate prediction of the probability of overflow failure. The storage effect is the additional storage relative to the full water level of the earth-fill dam, that is, the amount of water allowed from the full water level of the earth-fill dam to the critical full water level of the spillway. It can affect the peak overflow discharge during a continuous rainfall event and the probability of exceeding the runoff height of the earth-fill dam (MAFF 2015). The overflow probability, considering the storage effect, is defined as Eq. (22). hd: designated overflow head on the spillway (m)
