About Remarc

REMARC is a multidisciplinary research project that seeks to identify pathways towards higher rates of septic tank remediation to safeguard the environment and public health. Through a cross-sectional survey and expert interviews, REMARC will gain insights from households and local authority officials about potential barriers to septic tank remediation in Ireland.  The findings will be used to provide evidence-based policy recommendations and will inform the development of public  communication framework designed to trigger positive behavioural changes. 

REMARC is funded under the EPA Research programme 2021-2030. The EPA Research programme is a Government of Ireland initiative funded by the Department of the Environment Climate and Communications.
