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.
Based on the 2007 Census conducted by the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia (CSA), this woreda has a total population of 31,794, of whom 18,128 are men and 13,666 women; with an area of 702.09 square kilometers, Bure Mudaytu has a population density of 45.28.
