Wireless sensor networks (WSN) play a vital role in our day-to-day life to sense and report various parameters for facilitating data-driven decisions. WSN can be formed by placing sensor nodes ad-hoc network fashion that can communicate in wireless mode. The sensor nodes contain the sensing element, processing unit, power supply unit, external memory and transceiver. The WSN can function as infrastructure-less network. Moreover the sensor nodes that are deployed in this kind of network are self-organized. Therefore, this network can be easy formed for various applications in different fields including agriculture, water quality monitoring, forest fire detection, military applications, land slide detection, etc. This paper presents a review of the research works on wireless sensor network that are carried out by many researchers for different applications.
