Selective withdrawal from a stratified stream is considered. The average density of the withdrawn fluid and the flow pattern are found, within the limitations on the densimetric Froude number and the withdrawal rate specified in this paper, to depend on the strength and location of the sink, and very little on any slight variation in the velocity distribution far upstream and the densimetric Froude number. The upstream density distribution is assumed linear, but many other density distributions can be similarly treated.
