The present investigation is mostly concerned with the contribution that the finite-element method can make towards the simulation of ground water flow. After a brief introduction to the finite element method, it is applied to the Grootfontein dolomitic aquifer near Mafikeng/Mmabatho. This aquifer yields water for irrigation purposes as well as water for the township. By utilizing the available information a good flow model was constructed for this aquifer. The model is considered calibrated and verificated.
