The major purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the determination of some of the simplest properties in fracture networks. Three elementary phenomena are considered, — namely conductivity, permeability and dispersion of a passive solute. In this respect, this chapter recalls what was dealt with in Chapter 6, concerning a single fracture. More complex phenomena will be addressed in Chapter 8.
