Expressions for the mean and variance of the recurrence time of non-overlapping draft-patterns of draft from a Moran Reservoir Model (discrete-state and discrete-time Markov chain) are derived using Feller's Renewal argument. In addition an expression for the mean recurrence time for self-overlapping patterns of draft is derived using run-theory.
