The term "channel" generally means the deep part of a river or other waterway, and its meaning is normally made clear by a descriptive adjectival term, either stated or implied, such as "low-water" channel, "main" channel, "artificial" channel. For the purpose of this International Standard, the word "channel" is always qualified by the adjective "open". 2, record 1, English, - channel

Le terme «chenal» signifie généralement la partie la plus profonde d'une rivière ou d'un cours d'eau et son sens est normalement rendu clair par un qualificatif tel que chenal «principal», chenal «artificiel», chenal «de basses eaux». Dans l'acception française du terme, le mot «chenal» évoque toujours l'idée d'écoulement à surface libre. Il est donc incorrect de le préciser. 2, record 1, French, - chenal
