Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Irrigation
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil salinity, Agriculture, Irrigation and Soil water. The various areas that he examines in his Agronomy study include Soil management, Phytoremediation, Soil fertility and Dispersion. His Agriculture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Water resources, Environmental protection and Water resource management.

His Water resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Environmental planning, Livelihood and Urban agriculture. The Irrigation study combines topics in areas such as Sustainability, Land reclamation and Drainage. His work deals with themes such as Wastewater and Water scarcity, which intersect with Agricultural productivity.

His most cited work include:

  • The challenges of wastewater irrigation in developing countries (415 citations)
  • Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration (356 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Irrigation, Agriculture, Soil water and Wastewater. His Agronomy research includes themes of Salinity, Soil salinity, Leaching, Phytoremediation and Sodic soil. His Irrigation study which covers Drainage that intersects with Irrigation management.

His Agriculture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Productivity, Environmental planning and Environmental protection. His studies examine the connections between Soil water and genetics, as well as such issues in Sodium adsorption ratio, with regards to Effluent. His Wastewater research incorporates themes from Reuse, Water resource management, Natural resource economics, Sewage treatment and Developing country.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (54.19%)
  • Irrigation (49.72%)
  • Agriculture (39.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Wastewater (31.28%)
  • Water resource management (28.49%)
  • Agriculture (39.11%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Manzoor Qadir mainly focuses on Wastewater, Water resource management, Agriculture, Irrigation and Water resources. His study in Wastewater is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Reuse, Environmental protection, Natural resource economics, Sewage treatment and Developing country. His study on Water resource management also encompasses disciplines like

  • Groundwater that intertwine with fields like Tillage,
  • Conjunctive use, which have a strong connection to Infiltration, Brackish water, Surface water, Agricultural productivity and Soil type.

His research integrates issues of Arid and Climate change in his study of Agriculture. His Irrigation research integrates issues from Salinity, Saline water, Crop, Productivity and Hydrology. The Hydrology study which covers Soil water that intersects with Agronomy.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The state of desalination and brine production: A global outlook. (274 citations)
  • Agricultural water pollution: key knowledge gaps and research needs (70 citations)
  • A Review of Health Risks and Pathways for Exposure to Wastewater Use in Agriculture (67 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Irrigation

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental protection, Agriculture, Sustainable development, Water resources and Water quality. His research investigates the connection between Environmental protection and topics such as Wastewater that intersect with problems in Sewage treatment and Green economy. His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Water stress, Environmental exposure, Pollution and Irrigation.

Within one scientific family, Manzoor Qadir focuses on topics pertaining to Hydrology under Irrigation, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Agronomy. Manzoor Qadir has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Soil water and Salinity, Saline water. His work carried out in the field of Water quality brings together such families of science as Private sector involvement, Soil type and Water resource management.
