Abstract
In this paper, the analytical solutions for three common drainage problems are presented in the form of two exponential series. These exponential series were calculated by computer and are presented in two non-dimensional diagrams, for easy application to practical problems. From these diagrams, the values of the water table at mid-distance between parallel drains and the discharge per unit area into the drains, can be calculated. The same drainage problems were solved numerically by finite differences (FDM) and finite elements (FEM). Comparison between numerical and analytical solutions shows satisfactory agreement.
