A method of measuring quantity or flow of water by introducing a chemical solution of known concentration at a cross section upstream and then determining the degree of dilution of the solution at another cross section downstream. The method is sometimes used along mountain streams where current meters cannot be used and where measuring structures would be costly or difficult to erect. 1, record 1, English, - chemical%20gauging

Les différents procédés de jaugeages chimiques consistent à injecter dans la rivière une certaine quantité de produit chimique et à doser ce produit dans des échantillons prélevés assez loin à l'aval sur le débit de la rivière. 3, record 1, French, - jaugeage%20chimique

Les jaugeages chimiques, électrochimiques et par solution radioactive sont des variantes du jaugeage par dilution. L'expression «jaugeage par titration» employée initialement implique l'usage du dosage chimique qui était le seul employé jadis. Actuellement celui-ci cède la place au dosage colorimétrique. Par conséquent, l'expression «jaugeage chimique» est préférable, comme étant plus général. 2, record 1, French, - jaugeage%20chimique
