Bure Mudaytu is one of the Districts of Ethiopia, or woredas in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Administrative Zone 3, Bure Mudaytu stretches along a narrow band covering the marshy lowlands along the Awash River, with the Administrative Zone 5 to the west and Gewane to the east. The administrative center of this woreda is Debel.
The altitude of this woreda is between 300 and 700 meters above sea level. The largest body of water in Bure Mudaytu is Lake Yardi, which is fed by the winter floods of the Awash; other rivers include the Hawadi. This woreda was affected by the March 1996 Awash floods, which were caused by unmaintained dikes breaking. However, the flooding only affected abandoned cotton fields, although local media erroneously stated that the Awash had flooded in June of that year and caused much hardship and destruction; these reports were disproved upon investigation.[1] Another local landmark is the Bouri Formation an archeological site which has yielded numerous Australopithecines and Homo fossils, artifacts, and bones of large mammals with cut marks.
