A dual-porosity fractal model is derived that considers transient flow from block to fissure, skin between the fissure and the block, and storage capacity and skin effect on the pumping well. Type curves for different flow dimensions are provided. They concern the pumping well and observation wells located either in the fissure system or in a matrix block. The interpretation of a field case using this model shows good agreement between the theoretical drawdown and the observed data, with consistent results from the pumping well and the observation well. A flow dimension of 1.45 is obtained. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1996
