  abstract = {{T}he cosmonuclide {C}l-36 is relevant for hydrological applications due to its conservative chloride form. {C}l-36 measurements are commonly performed by {A}ccelerator {M}ass {S}pectrometry ({AMS}) while stable chlorine concentration measurements are usually performed by ion chromatography ({IC}). {T}hey can also be achieved by {I}sotope {D}ilution-{A}ccelerator {M}ass {S}pectrometry ({ID}-{AMS}) which offers the advantage of the simultaneous determination of both {C}l and {C}l-36 contents. {T}he range of applicability of this method has been assessed on rock samples but, to our knowledge, no experimental tests were conducted on water samples characterized by low chloride contents. {T}his study aims at investigating the accuracy and precision of the {ID}-{AMS} method for such low chlorine water samples for which chloride and {C}l-36 determinations remain highly challenging. {F}irst, internal and external errors were evaluated on the measured ratios and uncertainties on {C}l and {C}l-36 concentrations were assessed at +/- 5% and +/- 7% respectively using standard error propagation calculations. {F}ocused on the 0.1 to 10 mg center dot {L}-1 concentration range, the {C}l concentrations of thirty-five gravimetric standards were determined by {ID}-{AMS} leading to a 1:1 line ({R}-2 = 0.99) and a 1-sigma uncertainty on [{C}l-] of +/- 5%, consistently with the propagated uncertainty. {F}inally, the optimal sample volume to reach accurate {C}l-36 and {C}l measurements with {ID}-{AMS} for water sample concentrations within the 0.1 to 10 mg center dot {L}-1 range has been theoretically estimated.},
