+# Calculate predicted environmental concentrations in surface water due to drift
+
+This is a basic, vectorised form of a simple calculation of a
+contaminant concentration in surface water based on complete,
+instantaneous mixing with input via spray drift.
+
+## Usage
+
+``` r
+PEC_sw_drift(
+ rate,
+ applications = 1,
+ water_depth = as_units("30 cm"),
+ drift_percentages = NULL,
+ drift_data = c("JKI", "RF"),
+ crop_group_JKI = "Ackerbau",
+ crop_group_RF = "arable",
+ distances = c(1, 5, 10, 20),
+ formula = c("Rautmann", "FOCUS"),
+ water_width = as_units("100 cm"),
+ side_angle = 90,
+ rate_units = "g/ha",
+ PEC_units = "µg/L"
+)
+```
+
+## Arguments
+
+- rate:
+
+ Application rate in units specified below, or with units defined via
+ the `units` package.
+
+- applications:
+
+ Number of applications for selection of drift percentile
+
+- water_depth:
+
+ Depth of the water body in cm
+
+- drift_percentages:
+
+ Percentage drift values for which to calculate PECsw. Overrides
+ 'drift_data', 'distances', 'applications', crop group and formula
+ arguments if not NULL.
+
+- drift_data:
+
+ Source of drift percentage data. If 'JKI', the
+ [drift_data_JKI](https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/pfm/reference/drift_data_JKI.md)
+ included in the package is used. If 'RF', the Rautmann drift data are
+ calculated either in the original form or integrated over the width of
+ the water body, depending on the 'formula' argument.
+
+- crop_group_JKI:
+
+ When using the 'JKI' drift data, one of the German names as used in
+ [drift_data_JKI](https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/pfm/reference/drift_data_JKI.md).
+ Will only be used if drift_data is 'JKI'. Available crop groups are
+ "Ackerbau", "Obstbau frueh", "Obstbau spaet", "Weinbau frueh",
+ "Weinbau spaet", "Hopfenbau", "Flaechenkulturen \> 900 l/ha" and
+ "Gleisanlagen".
+
+- crop_group_RF:
+
+ Crop group(s) as used in
+ [drift_parameters_focus](https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/pfm/reference/drift_parameters_focus.md),
+ i.e. "arable", "hops", "vines, late", "vines, early", "fruit, late",
+ "fruit, early" or "aerial".
+
+- distances:
+
+ The distances in m for which to get PEC values
+
+- formula:
+
+ By default, the original Rautmann formula is used. If you specify
+ "FOCUS", mean drift input over the width of the water body is
+ calculated as described in Chapter 5.4.5 of the FOCUS surface water
+ guidance
+
+- water_width:
+
+ Width of the water body in cm
+
+- side_angle:
+
+ The angle of the side of the water relative to the bottom which is
+ assumed to be horizontal, in degrees. The SYNOPS model assumes 45
+ degrees here.
+
+- rate_units:
+
+ Defaults to g/ha. For backwards compatibility, only used if the
+ specified rate does not have
+ [units::units](https://r-quantities.github.io/units/reference/units.html)\].
+
+- PEC_units:
+
+ Requested units for the calculated PEC. Only µg/L currently supported
+
+## Value
+
+A numeric vector with the predicted concentration in surface water. In
+some cases, the vector is named with distances or drift percentages, for
+backward compatibility with versions before the vectorisation of
+arguments other than 'distances' was introduced in v0.6.5.
+
+## Details
+
+It is recommened to specify the arguments `rate`, `water_depth` and
+`water_width` using
+[units::units](https://r-quantities.github.io/units/reference/units.html)
+from the `units` package.
+
+Since pfm version 0.6.5, the function is vectorised with respect to
+rates, applications, water depth, crop groups and distances
