Water that runs off from a watershed disregards administrative boundaries. Thus, the Lake Brome watershed encompasses eight municipalities, in whole or in part. These municipalities are attached to two RCMs, namely the RCM of Brome-Missisquoi and the RCM of Memphrémagog.
Increasingly, public authorities recognize the need to manage water policies according to the characteristics of each watershed. This is known as integrated water management by watershed.
