The water level on the hydraulic structures is maintained by means of permanent or gated weirs. Conventional permanent dams are made with impermeable sills. Gated weirs are installed in rivers with low sills; the head of water on these objects is kept by movable closures. The constant concrete weirs’ role can be ful-filled also by the permeable rubble mound weirs. In the permeable stone weirs part of the water fl ows through the fill stone construction and the rest fl ows over the body. The analysis of the water discharge division into the overfl ow and the seepage flow gives the possibility of the infi ltration body and the shape of the weir profile. The geometry of the rubble sill, the grain size distribution of fill material and the localization of zones with velocity which can break stability stone elements of body, are important elements when determining the geometry of the gabion weir. Results of the laboratory on the gabion weir, including reconnaissance of the over and the trough-flow, are presented in the article. The discharge of the surface flow form was determined with the hydrometric method. The electromagnetic PEMS probe for measurement of velocity of water has been used. The degree of discharge distribution depends on hydraulic parameters of overflowing water stream.
