Abstract
"We are degrading our environment and consuming its resources at unsupportable rates. Our rivers and lakes are polluted with industrial wastes, agrochemicals, petrochemicals and untreated sewage. Hence we have to learn to live more sustainable and with less impact on our environment so that the prospects for future generations are bright. For this, monitoring our environment becomes mandatory. Effective monitoring can be done with the application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). They are a new technology for gathering data about the natural world. This technology is just one small part of a complex system which includes internet links from WSN to a server, databases, and web presentation tools. The national challenges of our country include land degradation, water shortage and climate change. These challenges involve many numbers of unpredictable events and difficult outdoor conditions."
