An analytical solution technique to determine streamlines and equipotential lines in steady two‐dimensional seepage from a single triangular channel into a permeable soil underlain at a finite depth by a drain was obtained by using conformal mappings. The technique was applied to triangular channels having side slopes of 45°. The results were compared with those from a published finite difference solution. The complex integrations were computed by using an interactive on line computer system. This computational method proved extremely easy to apply and a rapid means of obtaining accurate results.
