The watershed
of Togus Pond is shown as the
area in green, covering roughly 4.8 square miles. This is an area of land that drains
down-slope into Togus Pond. The water moves through a network of drainage
pathways, both underground and on the surface. Generally, these pathways
converge into streams and rivers, which become progressively larger as the
water moves on downstream. Dam
Pond also feeds into the Togus Pond watershed so it is considered an
indirect watershed.

Togus Receives
water from a variety of sources.
One of the main input sources is from a stream that flows into the
lake at route 3. Other
tributaries can be found primarily along the northern half of the lake as
well. It is also likely that
Togus is spring fed, but there is no way to measure this contribution.

Water Flows out
from Togus Pond and into Lower Togus at the Route 105 culvert, and into
Togus Stream which empties into the Kennebec river.
