It is non-tidal, except when breached by storms.[1] The water directly receives about {{convert|219,844,022|USgal|L}} of precipitation per year, with an estimated {{convert|796,215|USgal|L}} in daily groundwater flow.[8] No streams flow into the pond, though a nearby stream "captures water that otherwise would have flowed to Trustom Pond".[9]Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge, inhabited by over 300 species of birds, 40 species of mammals, and 20 species of reptiles and amphibians.[7] As such, it is a popular bird-watching destination.[10] In 1987, {{convert|365|acre}} of land were donated to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; subsequent donations and purchases raised the protected area to {{convert|800|acre}}, with current plans for expansion. The wildlife refuge receives approximately 50,000 visitors annually.[7] The Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge includes {{convert|3|mi|km|lk=on}} of foot trails, surrounded by fields, shrublands, woodlands and small freshwater ponds.[11] Wildlife managers create breachways to the Block Island Sound, lowering water levels and creating mudflats which become feeding areas for waders.[12] See also{{Portal|Rhode Island}}
