| Abstract The main objective of this investigation is to be obtain the coefficient of discharge for labyrinthine side weir. 24 labyrinthine side weirs were constructed and built in upstream of side channel of a 15 cm width and 30 cm depth and 2 m long with constant horizontal bed. The weir height were varied three times as 9cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm and each height tested for four different angels of the weir crest ( ). The weirs were used with direction and opposite direction of flow with different discharges. From the analysis of results it was found that the labyrinthine side weir with small height and small angle is more efficient when put in the direction of flow. Two general expressions were obtained to estimate the coefficient of discharge in terms of the hydraulic parameters in direction and opposite direction of flow, also it was found that the rate between length of weir to the depth of flow is the most effective parameter.
