Evgeny Alekseevich Zamarin graduated as a civil engineer from the Saint Petersburg Polytechnic Institute in 1916. He was then involved in the "Hungry Desert" hydraulic scheme in Semirechye on Crimea Peninsula, and from 1923 worked for the Valuysk and Ilovlinsk experimental melioration stations. From 1925 to 1932 he was a deputy director of the Central-Asian Scientific Irrigation Institute SANIIRI where he initiated research in irrigation structures. In parallel, Zamarin headed from 1925 the Chair of Hydrotechnics at the Central-Asian State University SAGU in Tashkent, later he headed the similar institute of the Central-Asian Cotton-Irrigation Polytechnic Institute also in Tashkent, now the TIIMSH. From 1932, Zamarin was a professor of hydraulic engineering in Moscow, and was appointed in 1937 head of the Hydrotechnical Constructions Chair of the Moscow Institute of Water Management. He was in parallel a Member of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Melioration VNIIGiM in Saint Petersburg. Zamarin submitted in 1936 a PhD thesis, was awarded Honored Scientist in 1943 and elected in 1948 Member of the USSR All-Union Agricultural Academy of Sciences.

\

Zamarin's research work was directed to questions of agricultural hydraulics. He investigated in the early 1930s groundwater flow across dams of which the theory was then in development once the governing stability criteria were established. Zamarin was also interested in the water flow across macro-porous media and the deformations of loess as occur in foundation techniques. Later, Zamarin became an expert in hydraulic engineering with research in spillway hydraulics including energy dissipators, water intake structures and compound channel flow. He presented a number of books on these topics, of which various were translated into German.
