Dans les appellations officielles, ce terme peut être orthographié différemment. Il faut alors respecter la graphie utilisée même si elle n’est pas conforme à cette recommandation. 2, record 1, French, - Strat%C3%A9gie%20de%20gestion%20de%20l%27eau%20des%20Premi%C3%A8res%20nations%20%3A%20Services%20d%27aqueduc%20et%20de%20traitement%20des%20eaux%20us%C3%A9es%20dans%20les%20r%C3%A9serves%20des%20Premi%C3%A8res%20nations%20%3A%20r%C3%B4les%20et%20responsabilit%C3%A9s
