摘要：Traditionally, environmental monitoring is achieved by a small number of expensive and high precision sensing unities.The implementation of a wireless sensor network provides an alternative solution by deploying a larger number of disposable sensor nodes. Nodes are equipped with sensors with less precision.However, the network as a whole provides better spatial resolution of the area and the users can have access to the data immediately. This paper provides a brief overview of the wireless sensor networks technology for environmental monitoring applications.The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is one of the most significant technologies in the 21st century. In recent years, achievements in micro-sensor technology and low-power electronics make WSN become realities in applications. The various environmental parameters such as underground water level, barometric pressure, ambient temperature, atmospheric humidity, wind direction, wind speed and rainfall etc.can be monitored using WSNs.
