+*[[List of villages in India]]
-Lamkani has total 3000 hectares of village catchment area consisting of gaothan - the village site, agricultural land, forest, fallow or waste land. The forest area admeasures about 400 ha.
-Prior to 1960, the forest area was reasonably rich in tree and grasses to the extent that it could fulfill the requirements of small size timber for farm implements, fuel wood for cooking, grasses and fodder for cattle, then village population, as told by the village elders living in the village. With the availability of this natural resource and farm grown fodder the villagers practiced animal husbandry and kept milch cattle like cows and buffaloes. The agriculture was irrigated from dug out wells which later on shifted to tube wells.
-The locality of Lamkani receives average annual rainfall of 400&nbsp;mm. and therefore falls in the category of "Drought Prone Area" as defined by the District Administration.
-However, during last five decades there has been gradual and perceptible erratic rainfall pattern in this locality as experienced by the villagers. This is reported to affect crop yields adversely and so was the impact on the vegetation around that included the forest area. So also with increase in human population from sixties to nineties coupled with cattle population, the biotic pressure on the forest gradually increased which caused the degradation of tree growth and loss of grasses. The heavy grazing by the cattle resulted stoppage of regeneration of new grasses due to no seeding of seeds and trampling of new grasses.
-The ecological conditions of the village deteriorated over period of time. The number of cattle slowly reduced due to lesser fodder and grass availability. The dairying profession was reduced and finally had to be completely abandoned.
-The water levels in the wells dropped creating shortage of water for villagers and their cattle which necessitated villagers to search for deeper sources that came from handy in the form of tube wells; thanks to the drilling technology. During 1997–2000, the village saw drilling of about 200 tube wells to augment the water requirements. So also the villagers saw deeper drilling to reach water table that dropped from average of 350 feet to 950 feet.
-The water scarcity however could not improve. The village was required to be supplied water by tanker from other places. That was perhaps the worst point of time - the year 2000, in the ecological history of the village. All Information From Ravi Nanabhau Girase
