#' 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.
#'
#' @param rate Application rate in units specified below
#' @param applications Number of applications for selection of drift percentile
#' @param drift_percentages Percentage drift values for which to calculate PECsw.
#'   'drift_data' and 'distances' if not NULL.
#' @param drift_data Source of drift percentage data. If 'JKI', the [drift_data_JKI]
#'   included in the package is used. If 'RF', the Rautmann formula is used, if
#'   implemented for the crop type and number of applications
#' @param crop Crop name (use German names for JKI data), defaults to "Ackerbau"
#' @param distances The distances in m for which to get PEC values
#' @param water_depth Depth of the water body in cm
#' @param rate_units Defaults to g/ha
#' @param PEC_units Requested units for the calculated PEC. Only µg/L currently supported
#' @return The predicted concentration in surface water
#' @export
