We give rigorous derivation of Brinkman's equation as the effective equation for slow viscous flow in porous media with high porosity. The medium is composed of spherical obstacles distributed randomly, and the microscopic flow is described by the Stokes equation. Along the road we give \(W^ 1_ 2\) convergence estimates for the point-sources approximation.
