The '''Rewa Plateau''' covers a portion of [[Rewa district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Madhya Pradesh]].

The Rewa Plateau lies between the [[Kaimur Range]] in the south and [[Vindhya Range]] or Binj Pahar in the north. To the north of the Binj Pahar are the alluvial plains known as Uprihar. The plateau covers the Huzur, [[Sirmaur, Rewa|Sirmaur]] and [[Mauganj]] tehsils of Rewa district. The height decreases from south to north. The Kaimur Range is more than {{convert|450|m}}. The alluvial plains of [[Teonthar]] are just around {{convert|100|m}}.<ref name=admin>{{cite web|url = http://www.rewa.nic.in/Geography.htm| title = Rewa district | work= Geography |publisher = Rewa district administration | access-date = 2010-07-11 }}</ref>A series of plateaux runs along the Kaimur Range. These fluvial plateaux, consists of a series of descending plateaux, starting with the [[Bijawar-Panna Plateau|Panna Plateau]] in the west, followed by [[Bhander Plateau]] and Rewa Plateau and ending with [[Rohtas Plateau]] in the east.<ref>{{cite book|url =https://books.google.com/books?id=dC7qhGQpBYkC&q=Rohtas+plateau&pg=PA158 | title =Physical Geography: Introduction To Earth| work= p. 158 | last=K.

==Alluvium==
The [[Ken River|Ken]] valley separates the Rewa Plateau from the Satna Plateau. Because of the flatness they can also be called high plains. Only the southern part of the Rewa Plateau is hilly.<ref>{{cite book|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=nkPUnn3HiZoC&q=Satna+plateau&pg=PA22 | title = Spatial framework and economic development | first= Shri Kamal | last= Sharma | year = 2000 | isbn = 9788172111113 | access-date = 2010-07-11 }}</ref>

The Rewa plateau from Rehli in the southwest to Satna in the northeast is covered with alluvium of the Pleistocene and recent periods.<ref>{{cite book|url =https://books.google.com/books?id=nkPUnn3HiZoC&q=Rewa+plateau&pg=PA18 | title = Spatial framework and economic development: a geographical perspective | first= Shri Kamal | last= Sharma | year = 2000 | isbn = 9788172111113 | access-date = 2010-07-11 }}</ref>

==Rivers and waterfalls==
The plateau is drained by the [[Tamas River|Tamas or Tons]] and the [[Son River|Son]] and their tributaries. Tke Kaimur Range forms the watershed between the two rivers. Most of the rivers originate in the Kaimur Range.<ref name=admin/>

Significant waterfalls on the Tamas or Tons and its tributaries, as they come down from the Rewa Plateau, are: [[Chachai Falls]] (127m) on the Bihad River, a tributary of the Tamas, the [[Keoti Falls]] (98m) on the Mahana River, a tributary of the Tamas, [[Bahuti Falls]] (145m) on the Odda River, a tributary of the Belah River, which is itself a tributary of the Tamas, and [[Purwa Falls]] (70m) on the Tamsa or Tons.<ref>{{cite book|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=T1Y_Ytx9wp4C&q=Physical+Geography:+Hydrosphere+Devdari+Falls&pg=PA154 | title = Physical Geography: Hydrosphere| work= p. 154 | last= K.
