    Agricultural production and water has critical importance for socio-economic development of the societies. Unfortunately, the underground water level is slowly falling down and forests are being cut which reduces the rainfall as well. Technological advances on sensor technology and wireless communication are leading to the appearance of wireless sensor/actuator networks (WSANs) in a variety of commercial, industrial and military applications. There is no doubt merging wireless sensor technology into agricultural facilities will make farming activities much easier. In this paper, we look at the role of WSANs in agricultural production. We also investigate the communication architecture of WSAN based large scale irrigation management system and explain the key issues that are faced in the system design. Thanks to the easy installation and maintenance of WSANs, lots of water can be saved by giving timely feedback from field to improve the agricultural irrigation efficiency. This kind of solution can greatly help farmers to monitor the amount of water applied to a field
