== Overview ==
Mount Wanho is the highest point in this woreda; other notable peaks include Mounts Boreda and Coromso. The lowest point is along the Welmel River, which is just under 300 meters above sea level. Other perennial rivers include the Dumal and Iyya Rivers. A survey of the land in this woreda shows that 16.9% is arable or cultivable (10% was under annual crops), 45.6% pasture, 34% forest and heavy vegetation, and the remaining 3.5% is considered swampy, degraded or otherwise unusable. Notable landmarks include Meda, which is 33 kilometers from Bidire. Wheat, barley, teff, corn, sorghum and oats are important crops.〔(''Socio-economic profile of the Bale Zone'' ) Government of Oromia Region (last accessed 1 August 2006)〕 Although coffee is an important cash crop, less than 2,000 hectares are planted with it.〔("Coffee Production" ) Oromia Coffee Cooperative Union website〕
