+#' 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
+#' @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
