Abstract

This paper examines some hydrogeomorphic and limnologic characteristics of Goro Dong - A fluviatile lake, as a contributory objective towards conservation and sustainable use of fluviatile lakes and ponds resources in Numan Area of Adamawa State, Nigeria. Hydrogeomorphic Characteristics of the lake have been examined by an integrated approach involving the applications of Hydrographic Survey, Geographic Information System (GIS) and Mathematical Computations. Site survey and laboratory analyses have also been used to examined some Limnologic properties of the lake. Results revealed that Goro Dong is a typical shallow and wide fluviatile lake with suitable morphometric properties for recreation and socio-cultural festivities, as well as good limnologic characteristics for fisheries. Controlled human impacts on the lake have been recommended for conservation and sustainability.
