The SunabedaPlateau is located in the Gotibera forest blocks and most <strong>of</strong> the Bhunjia Tribal families are dwellingin this area.The second series <strong>of</strong> hill ranges <strong>of</strong> Patidongar (632 Meter) run parallel to the hill ranges runningthrough the Gotibera and Patadhara forest Blocks. In the south it is intercepted by Udanti River.22
Manikgarh hill range extends in a semicircular direction and meets the common boundary <strong>of</strong>Patidongar, Patadhara, and Gotibera Blocks near Chereichuan village.The hill range <strong>of</strong> Lodra originates near the village <strong>of</strong> Lodra and runs through the village limits <strong>of</strong>Jhalap, Tikrapara and Gola<strong>ban</strong>dh in a semicircular way and meets the origin <strong>of</strong> Patidongar.Water Sources:The major sources <strong>of</strong> water are some important rivers like Jonk, Sundar, Indra, Udanti and number<strong>of</strong> water falls present in the first three rivers at Gatibera, Patadhara, Manikgarh and Pati Dongarforest blocks.Some <strong>of</strong> the important water falls are Kharaldhas(50 meter) and Seniadhas ( 25 meter) on the Jonkriver, Gaidhas(25 meter) , Parewadarha fall(22 meter) on the Indra river .The jonk river is the main river which originates from the Patadhara Forest blocks and flows in theheart <strong>of</strong> Sonabera Plateau and drains out the major areas <strong>of</strong> Gotibera forest Block, Manikgarh,Ranimal , Lodra and Patidongara .All the rivers are narrow in the upland hill regions, but in the lower regions they are shallow withwider <strong>ban</strong>ks. The sundar and Jonk Rivers have very constricted watercourse. During summer thewater gets confined to few places in some pools.Rainfall:The average annual rainfall varies from 1100 mm -1300mm.Floral and Faunal Diversity:Important flora <strong>of</strong> this dry deciduous forest include Piasal, Bija, Sisoo, Teak, Harida, Amala, Mahul,Bahada, Kendu, Karada, Dhaura, Sidha, Salai, Char, Mai, Kumbhi, Jamun,Salia Bamboo, Manyvarieties <strong>of</strong> succulent shrubs and palatable grasses .About 70% <strong>of</strong> the forests are located on thewestern and south-western portion <strong>of</strong> the area( Life in Sunabeda Platue, Pattaniak, Mohanty andSahoo) . The forests are mainly <strong>of</strong> northern tropical dry mixed deciduous type. Sal forests <strong>of</strong> poortype are present in Sunabera and Patadhar Block along with other some other species like Bija, Sahaj,Dhaura, Sisoo and Harida. Teak predominates in most <strong>of</strong> the areas <strong>of</strong> Ranimal Block. The NaturalTeak forests generally associated with the area contain important species like Ternalius, Pterocerpusmarsupiam, Adina cardifolia, Anogeissus latifolia and Dendrocalamus strictus. It is important to note herethat Khariar Range <strong>of</strong> forests is the only area in Orissa that form a natural Teak belt with theadjoining areas <strong>of</strong> Chattisgarh (Klahandi District Gazetteer, pp 150). Salia Baunsa is foundextensively in areas <strong>of</strong> Ranimal, Gatibera, Manikgarh and portions <strong>of</strong> Patadhara block. The bambo<strong>of</strong>orests have been degraded in many places due to illicit felling and removal <strong>of</strong> young shoots. ThePaharia Tribe is found near the long patches <strong>of</strong> bamboo and depends heavily on bamboo productselling for their livelihood. Other local Tribal people also use bamboo shoots (Karadi) and23
