dc.description.abstract	A finite element analysis for porous media is aimed. In the thesis, it is accepted that groundwater flow occurs only in the saturated region of a porous soil. The problem is formulated based on Darcy's law governing groundwater flow under the assumption that the flow is laminar and that inertial forces are negligible compared to the viscous forces. The finite element method is chosen for the solution of the problem. A finite element code is developed in FORTRAN. Finite element meshes are generated for the confined seepage and confined and unconfined aquifer problems. Head distributions for different cases are plotted. The results have been compared to those in the literature.
