This research discusses about the problem solving of steady infiltration problem from flat channel with Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM). The governing equation for this problem is Richard’s equation. Using Kirchhoff transformation and exponential hydraulic conductivity relation, Richard’s equation is transformed into steady infiltration equation in the form of MFP. Infiltration equation in the form of MFP is then transformed to modified Helmholtz equation. A mathematical model of steady infiltration from flat channel in the form of boundary condition problem of modified Helmholtz EQUATION. Numerical solution is obtained by solving modified Helmholtz equation by using Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM) with various number of exterior and interior collocation points. Moreover, numerical and analytic solution are then compared.
