The locality of Sainte-Thècle is mainly part of the Batiscania hydrographic basin; the northern part is part of the Saint-Maurice River watershed, via the hydrographic slope of the Mékinac river. The Rivière des Envies has its source at Lac de la Traverse and is the most important hydrographic basin. Its course crosses rang Saint-Joseph to the southwest to the limit of Saint-Tite; then, its course crosses this last municipality subsequently, Saint-Séverin and Saint-Stanislas. It flows onto the west bank of the Batiscan River in Saint-Stanislas. The Tawachiche River flows on 25 km (16 mi) entirely within the municipality of Lac-aux-Sables, almost the limit of Sainte-Thècle. The northeast zone of Rang Saint-Thomas and Rang Saint-Georges is part of the hydrographic slope of this river. The Batiscan River flows north to south over 196 km (122 mi) starting at lac Édouard in Mauricie. It drains into the St. Lawrence River at Batiscan. A short segment of the course of this river turns out to be the eastern limit of the municipality of Sainte-Thècle. The Pierre-Paul river takes its source at Pierre-Paul Lake of Saint-Tite. Its course on 14 km (8.7 mi) describes a large Z by crossing a mainly agricultural territory (a forest part at the beginning of the route) of Saint-Tite, Sainte-Thècle and Saint-Adelphe.
