A numerical code which utilizes the boundary element method (BEM) for solving steady‐state ground‐water flow problems is illustrated. The paper concentrates on accuracy in studying the situations which are generally considered to involve some mathematical difficulty, such as zoned domains and flux discontinuities. A numerical BEM code is proposed, the main feature of which involves accurately calculating flux discontinuities using a structure particularly flexible in multizoned domains. Two examples are reported, the results of which are comparable with those available in the literature.
