Adopting smart irrigation will be the future need we can it is the thirst due to many critical factors such as irregularity of monsoon, less availability of groundwater etc. Though we say sufficient water is available but need is arise to think about the utilization of water in an effective way. We must also think water which we are using is good for better yielding of the crops. Similarly temperature, humidity, and soil moisture these parameters will play important roles in better crop yielding.To be a best example of interdisciplinary application we are tying wireless sensor network (WSN) with this agriculture field. It is a challenging task to implement this wireless irrigation system (WSN-IS) as focus is on capturing the sensor values for humidity, temperature, moisture, pH level, conductivity of water etc. Our ultimate goal is to provide immediate water to the plant wherever required depending upon the moisture values. This proposed system works on the priority driven scheduling principle. Conductivity sensors, pH sensors, TDS of water, level of the storage tank, temperature sensors, soil moisture sensors, humidity sensors etc. these will be value added things acknowledge by the system to the end user.
