In today's world due to climate change we are facing a water crisis. Proper management of water resources become even more critical in country like India where agriculture is still the biggest occupation. This paper discusses the data acquisition process of sensors used in smart farming using wireless sensor network technology such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, light, water level and pH. These sensors along with Arduino and XBee forms a wireless sensor node. A wireless sensor node then transmits the sensor parameters to the Raspberry Pi for taking the decision of turning on/off the irrigation system. Main focus of this paper is on the measurement of weather parameters like temperature, humidity & light and soil parameters like soil moisture and pH.
