Water Quality Impacts

•Exposed soil erodes quickly

•Chemical fertilizers are high in phosphorus

•Often heavy pesticide inputs

•<1% of the watershed

Agriculture


	Agricultural land contributes to lake inputs through the erosion of exposed soil, and runoff from agricultural fields commonly contains high-Phosphorus fertilizers or ecologically harmful pesticides.
	However, agriculture currently represents a very small portion of the Togus Pond watershed (at less than 1% of the total area).
