Abstract
Spray drift is still a major factor in contaminating surface waters in Europe. Many drift studies describe the single-field case only. A more realistic approach demands scaling-up to a regional study of drift hazards. The Cascade Project describes the modelling of spray drift and pesticide fate for a network of interconnected water bodies in a rural area.
The Cascade Drift Module models the spatial and temporal distribution of spray drift deposits onto the water bodies. The drift module uses a set of drift curves produced by the experimentally validated IDEFICS spray drift model. Therefore the drift module offers a realistic evaluation of regional spray drift hazards. Results are used in the second part of the Cascade Project: the Cascade Fate Module which models fate of pesticides in water bodies
