Free percolation and seepage flows from natural and artificial watercourses with curvilinear profiles are considered. The rigorous hydrodynamic solution of the problem of free percolation and seepage flow from a watercourse is obtained by representing the watercourse profiles in the plane of the Joukowski variable by means of the equation of a family of lemniscates and using the conformal mapping method. The calculated dependences for determining all the necessary parameters of the seepage flows and constructing the curvilinear watercourse profiles are given. In the case of a circular basis for the shape of the watercourse profile in the plane of the Joukowski variable these dependences coincide with the well-known exact dependences.
