An asymptotic solution is obtained corresponding to a very intense pulse: a
sudden strong increase and fast subsequent decrease of the water level at
the boundary of semi-infinite fissurized-porous stratum. This flow is of pr
actical interest: it gives a model of a groundwater flow after a high water
period or after a failure of a dam around a collector of liquid waste. It
is demonstrated that the fissures have a dramatic influence on the groundwa
ter flow, increasing the penetration depth and speed of fluid penetration i
nto the stratum. A characteristic property of the flow in fissurized-porous
stratum is the rapid breakthrough of the fluid at the first stage deeply i
nto the stratum via a system of cracks, feeding of porous blocks by the flu
id in cracks, and at a later stage feeding of advancing fluid flow in fissu
res by the fluid, accumulated in porous blocks.
