713. Until otherwise provided for under article 715 or 716:

(1)  local watercourses are those which are wholly situated in the territory of one local municipality;

(2)  regional watercourses are those which divide local municipal territories or which are situated in more than one such territory.

A local watercourse is under the jurisdiction of the local municipality in whose territory it is situated, except local watercourses situated in the territory of a regional county municipality no part of whose territory is situated within the territory of the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal which are under the jurisdiction of the regional county municipality. A regional watercourse is under the jurisdiction of the regional county municipality in whose territory it is situated; however, where the local municipal territories that are divided or linked by a regional watercourse form part of the territories of two or more regional county municipalities, the watercourse is under the joint jurisdiction of all such regional county municipalities.

Only a municipality governed by the Cities and Towns Act (chapter C‐19) whose territory does not include any regional watercourse and is not bounded by any such watercourse may exercise, in respect of the powers of the regional county municipality relating to regional watercourses, the right of withdrawal provided for in the third paragraph of section 188 of the Act respecting land use planning and development (chapter A‐19.1). However, in a regional county municipality no part of whose territory is situated within the territory of the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, no local municipality may exercise such right of withdrawal in respect of those powers.

For the purposes of this Title, a watercourse is deemed to belong to any municipality having jurisdiction in respect of the watercourse.

For the purposes of this article and of articles 714 to 724, “municipality” and “local municipality” include a municipality governed by the Cities and Towns Act.

A local watercourse is under the jurisdiction of the local municipality in whose territory it is situated, except local watercourses situated in the territory of a regional county municipality designated as a rural regional county municipality which are under the jurisdiction of the regional county municipality. A regional watercourse is under the jurisdiction of the regional county municipality in whose territory it is situated; however, where the local municipal territories that are divided or linked by a regional watercourse form part of the territories of two or more regional county municipalities, the watercourse is under the joint jurisdiction of all such regional county municipalities.
