Rate My Professor Wazir Alam

Dr. Wazir Alam serves as Assistant Professor (S-3) in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Science at Manipur University, a Central University located in Imphal, Manipur, India. He earned his MSc in Environmental Science from Gauhati University and a PhD in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. His doctoral thesis focused on the analytical prediction of groundwater flow into auger hole and ditch drains in homogeneous anisotropic soil. Dr. Alam's research specializes in Water Resources Management and Environmental Science, with key interests in ecohydrology, hydroinformatics, environmental impact assessment (EIA), and environmental modeling. He actively supervises PhD scholars, including Ranu Jajo Laishram, Bindiya Aribam, and Samananda Keisham.

Dr. Alam has an extensive publication record in reputable journals, contributing to the understanding of water quality, pollution, and resource management in Manipur and beyond. Notable publications include: "Estimation of Rainfall-Runoff Potential using SCS-CN and Geospatial Approach for Loktak Lake watershed, India" (2024, International Journal of Hydrological Science and Technology); "Spatial Distribution, Exposure and Potential Ecotoxicological Health Risk Associated with Geogenic Contaminants in Groundwater Resources of Manipur Valley, India" (2023, Water Conservation Science and Engineering); "Geospatial Assessment and Hydrogeochemical Characterisation of Groundwater Resources of Manipur Valley, India" (2023, Environmental Monitoring & Assessment); "Chemotoxicity and Radiotoxicity Risk of Naturally Occurring Uranium in Groundwater Resources of Manipur Valley, India" (2022, Environmental Engineering Science); and "Hydrogeochemical Assessment of Groundwater Quality for few Habitations of Chandel District, Manipur (India)" (2020, Applied Water Science). His research has addressed critical issues such as heavy metal bioaccumulation, river hydrogeochemistry, land use impacts on temperature, and uranium contamination risks. Additionally, Dr. Alam has completed two funded projects: the UGC-FRPS project "Hydrogeochemical Investigation of Groundwater Resources of Manipur Valley, India" (Rs. 6.00 Lakhs) and the BRNS project "Quantification of Natural Uranium in Groundwater and Associated Water Quality Parameters in the Districts of Manipur Valley" (Rs. 30.52 Lakhs).
