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
