A simple and effective extension to the boundary element method for solving Laplace'S equation (∇ 2 u = 0) for boundary value problems is presented to solve steady confined and (or) steady unconfined seepage problems in zoned anisotropic mediums. Sample problems indicating the accuracy of results are given.
