Jabi Lake is a water body formed from a man-made earth dam that was initially created to provide water to the residents of Abuja, Nigeria.[1] The total surface area of the lake is about 1,300 hectares (3,200 acres).[2]
The initial capacity of the reservoir was to supply water to 100,000 residents. But after the construction of the bigger Lower Usuma Dam, the reservoir became a fishing and tourism attraction.
