Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) contains hundreds or thousands of these sensor nodes. These sensors have the ability to communicate with each other or directly to the sink node. A large number of sensors in the phenomena increase the accuracy of sensing and coverage of phenomena. Routing is one of the critical issues in WSNs. Researchers proposed routing protocols for single sink WSNs. Identifying the location of the sink placement in the multiple sink wireless sensor networks is a challenge. In this work effective sink node placement mechanism is proposed by verifying the node density, the number of hops needed to route the data from node to sink node is minimized.
