The hodograph method for determining patterns of flow of groundwater in a coastal aquifer with a drain requires the treatment of double-sheeted hodograph planes. This many-valuedness does not prohibit the use of Schwarz-Christoffel analysis if the hodograph domain is simply connected. In the two-fluid case of fresh water flowing over stationary salt water the hodograph is simply connected, and the hodograph method is shown to give a solution. This solution was verified by a test that showed a stable interface in the predicted position.
