So instead of writing the address of my University's DNS server as 10000000000010000100101000000010, we write it for convenience as 128.8.74.2.

I'd need a way of showing the mail sorting equipment which it is so I'd receive my mail.

Without a marker to show which is zip code and which is house, either could be true. So I'm going to append a mask key to my syntheticAddress to tell the equipment how to distinguish between zip code and house number. Let's denote my house's syntheticAddress as 3346128484191/9, with a /9 at the end signifying that the first 9 digits are zip code and the remaining digits are house number.

The reason becomes clearer when that's expressed in binary. A class A subnet mask is 11111111000000000000000000000000.

For a class B address, it's 255.255.0.0, or 11111111111111110000000000000000. Longer network address, shorter computer address, right?

I just declare how many of the digits in the subnet mask are 1s. So I can specify a /27 network, with only 32* total addresses.

During these times, to seek the similar fun and challenge out of maths which I used to enjoy earlier, I have to look for innovative means. I often used to use logic to supplement maths and for every problem I was never satisfied with a school book answer or a straightforward answer. I also used to look for practical problems where maths can be applied. Trigonometric problems of height and distance was one such example. Probability theory was also another similar area. I must say at my times the way Maths was taught was not that great. In fact till recently I started learning machine learning I couldnot fully appreciate Matrix operations. Currently there is so much great content available over internet to learn maths in practical way. Salman Khan academy and various YouTube videos from this channel are a great example. Top down approach rather than bottom up approach is highly engaging. Also story based problem narration and diagrammatic representation are a great ways to connect with problem and then to understand the finer details of algebra and calculations involved.

However, despite evidence of basin closure leading to sectoral and regional interdependence, the three states that share the Krishna waters continue to strongly promote their own agriculture and irrigation development as the basis for their broader economic take-off\\nThis development path, relying on both large and small-scale water control facilities, can not longer be sustained without impinging on existing water use and affecting the security of supply for existing users. \\nThe lower Krishna is a deficit basin. It depends highly on inflow from the upper basin and on upstream water uses\\nIt is the first part of the Krishna basin to face the adverse consequences of any hydrological changes. It is also the region where most of the available water is depleted by human consumptive uses. In times of drought, it is the first region to face severe water shortages and to witness a spatial re-distribution or re-appropriation of water.\\nTaking place on the basis of current political, institutional and geographical forces, this re-appropriation of water raises questions of sectoral and regional water apportionment within the lower Krishna basin and may be at the origin of conflicts between water users.\\nFirst, the historical water accounting highlights that the net inflows in the lower Krishna basin have fallen from 129 km3/yr in 1955/65 down to 91 km3/yr in 1996/2000 as a consequence of increasing water control in the upper reaches of the Krishna basin. Surface water inflows from the upper basin have indeed decreased by about 66%, down to 37.9 km3/yr over the period 1955-2000\\nThis volume is still higher than the allocation mentioned by the Bachawat Tribunal in 1976 (22.6 km3/yr for Andhra Pradesh). Another striking element is the decreasing groundwater base-flows contribution to the surface water balance (minus 6.7 km3/yr on average i.e. 7% of the net inflow) and the over-exploitation of aquifers over-committed by about 0.9 km3/yr during the same period\\nBoth structural and technical reasons and the socio-political context of Andhra Pradesh may explain the recent institutional adjustments and the trends in water use that have relatively benefited the Krishna delta over the Nagarjuna Sagar project. In the future, users of the lower Krishna basin are likely to face this situation on a more routine basis.\\nStructurally, (i) releasing water in the Nagarjuna Sagar canals require higher reservoir levels than supplying the Krishna delta; (ii) any releases to the Krishna delta produce a highly needed hydro-power; (iii) the Krishna delta faced a more acute rainfall deficit than Nagarjuna Sagar between 2001 and 2004; (iv) conjunctive use is more common in Nagarjuna Sagar than in the Krishna delta: this may act as further incentive to decrease canal releases more in a region partly relying on alternative sources of water; (v) the Krishna delta cropping pattern (65% of wet crop) is more sensitive to any water availability changes than the Nagarjuna Sagar cropping pattern (43% of wet crops); and finally (vi) canal releases in the Krishna delta are primordial to limit both groundwater and soil salinisation.\", \"modifiers\": {}}], \"indent\": 0, \"quoted\": false, \"type\": \"plain\", \"is_rtl\": false}, {\"spans\": [{\"text\": \"Moreover, in a context of \\u201cpopulist anarchy\\u201d where politics and politicians have entered the field of water management voices of the strong rural political lobbies of the Krishna delta take advantage of the historical sub-division characterizing Andhra Pradesh politics, call upon their central role for food production at the state level, rise above others and find some echoes in the corridors of power.

Local surface water supplies to Hyderabad have been decreasing (both in absolute and relative value) since the 1970s and are now completely committed.There is evidence that agricultural and irrigation development in the upstream catchments led to lower inflows to the reservoirs historically supplying the city (Biggs 2005).

Environmental water requirements were neglected if not ignored as the water flowing to the sea was considered lost or wasted, a view still often expressed by engineers, politicians and researchers (Molle et al. 2007). The Krishna basin is no exception. The ever increasing regulation and diversion of water resources has led, along with increasing effluent discharges, to a dramatic degradation of the basin ecosystem. The average discharge to the ocean observed since the mid 1980s -14.6 km3/yr- defines a moderately to largely modified ecosystem (Smakhtin and Anputhas 2007). To avoid further deterioration of the Krishna basin ecosystem, there is a clear need to recognize the environment as a water user and to set aside water for the environment, especially for the fragile coastal ecosystems 6.7 km3/yr would be needed\\nEnvironmental concerns in the lower Krishna basin include: \\no Saline groundwater intrusion and nitrate pollution in the Krishna delta due to decreasing groundwater levels caused by unsustainable groundwater pumping for agricultural purposes, infiltration of highly loaded agricultural return flows and lower recharge from surface water as canal and Krishna river flows decrease.\\nThe increase of inland groundwater salinity has turned some productive lands into wasteland where cultivation is now hardly possible and jeopardizes present and future groundwater uses for domestic purposes in a region were about 70% of the population relies on hand pump for its daily consumption.\\no Land degradation and contamination through brackish water use for shrimp farming and water logging (GoAP 2001c); disruption of mangroves ecosystems unsustainably exploited for hatcheries (Ronnback et al. 2003); and biota changes in mangroves.\\n \\nPollution due to urban and industrial effluents resulting in health problems and biodiversity degradation; a natural problem of fluoride contamination that gets worse as groundwater exploitation for domestic purposes increases\\nProtecting the lake ecosystem is now presented as a governmental priority However, removing illegal fishponds is still a highly sensitive question, opposed by a powerful lobby . Little is done to limit pollution and the lake receives discharges from: fish ponds; return flows from agriculture loaded with manure and chemical fertilizer residues; effluents from neighbouring agro-industries (paper and rice mills, jute and sugarcane factories) and largely untreated sewage from urban centres. As a result, water-related diseases develop due to a decreasing availability of good quality water for domestic purposes. 30 years ago, villagers were able to drink water from the lake; they now increasingly rely on expensive private tankers. \\n \\n\", \"modifiers\": {}}, {\"text\": \"http://...\", \"modifiers\": {\"link\": {\"type\": \"url\", \"url\": \"http://...\"}}}, {\"text\": \"http://...\", \"modifiers\": {\"link\": {\"type\": \"url\", \"url\": \"http://...\"}}}, {\"text\": \"Water Transfers in and out the \", \"modifiers\": {\"link\": {\"type\": \"url\", \"url\": \"http://...\"}}}, {\"text\": \"Lower Krishna Basin \\nIn addition to the water transfers from the Godavari basin to Hyderabad which have been implemented in the early 1990s, several projects withdraw water from the Krishna and transfer it to the Pennar basin in the south-west of Andhra Pradesh. The Kurnool-Cuddapah (K-C) canal (commissioned in 1866) and the Rajolibunda diversion scheme (dating back to the 1960s) are drawing water upstream of the Sri-Sailam reservoir and irrigate some dry areas of Andhra Pradesh. The Telugu-Ganga canal used to both irrigate the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh and to partly meet urban needs of Chennai in Tamil Nadu (Nikku 2004) and the Sri-Sailam right bank canal planned to bring irrigation to the dry areas of Rayalaseema are drawing water from the Sri-Sailam reservoir. \\nOn another hand, the long-history project of interlinking the Indian rivers in a \\u201cnational water grid\\u201d may further affect water availability in the lower Krishna basin. Despite a strong opposition by NGO activists on several grounds (Allen 2004), this project envisioned as early as in the 1970s has been given further impetus recently. Moreover, it benefits from a strong political support in Andhra Pradesh (The Hindu 2003c, 2004b; 2006e). Three links would affect the lower Krishna basin waterscape and would draw about 26.1 km3 of water (e.g. about 30% of the basin net inflow as in 1996/2000) from the Godavari basin for multi-purposes projects producing hydro-power, supplying dry areas with domestic and industrial water, and irrigating an extra 1.5 Mha (NWDA 2007). Among those, 14.5 km3/yr would be diverted further southwards. Finally, total water availability in the lower Krishna basin would thus increase by 11.6 km3/yr (e.g 18% of the 1996/2000 net inflow) The \\u201cinterlinking river project\\u201d illustrates the lasting dominance of the engineering-based approach. While this could re-open the basin through a significant increase of its net inflow and alleviate crisis situations likely to recur in the near future by supplying water to existing uses; the plans of extending irrigation with this transferred water defeats these possibilities. These large scale transfers participate to the broader headlong rush towards more infrastructure, more water for more irrigation and more people regardless of resources availability. Moreover, because of its very dimension, the interlinking project is presented by its supporters as the miracle solution to all torments: this might be counterproductive as it often leads to disregarding other alternatives and short term management solutions which could yield accrued benefits.\\n \\nThe left bank canal of Nagarjuna Sagar draws water from the Nagarjuna Sagar dam on the Krishna river (cf. Figure 2). It has been allocated 3.8 km3/yr to irrigate about 415,000 hectares of both \\u201cwet\\u201d and \\u201cdry\\u201d crops (GoAP 2001a). The project consists of three main zones further sub-divided in 32 irrigation blocks supported by 115 distributaries (cf. Figure 7).
