Persistent difficulties that arise in forming numerical solutions of variably saturated flow problems include controlling the stability of the nonlinear equation solvers and devising a reliable, yet efficient, method for determining the positions of seepage surfaces. New techniques for addressing these problems are applied to a subdomain finite element discretization of the governing flow equations. A series of test problems demonstrates that the techniques are reliable and efficient for a wide variety of problems.
