This document describes an example that has been used to verify the groundwater flow capabilities of PLAXIS. This case illustrates water seepage through an earth dam to a drain in the downstream toe. The flow in such a case is unconfined due to the unknown phreatic level and the unknown size of the seepage surface. This represents a classical problem which can be solved by the flow net technique.
