Conformal mapping is used to obtain a solution for seepage to a collection gallery (a horizontal ditch or slotted pipe) that is parallel to a seacoast. The solution permits calculation of the gallery drawdown that is required to withdraw any given flow rate and also allows calculation of the maximum flow rate that can be abstracted without causing sea water intrusion. The results are applied to a numerical example.
