This is the PCDitch metamodel. Use the sliders and input fields on the right side. Based on the expected water quality, the image on the left changes. Using the input you enter in the configurator below, PCDitch's metamodel estimates the expected water quality in your canal or ditch.
The phosphate load is higher than the critical limit, a situation with duckweed is expected. De fosfaatbelasting ligt tussen de kritische grenzen, de verwachte toestand kan zowel troebel en algenrijk als helder en plantenrijk zijn, afhankelijk van de toestand waarin je start. The phosphate load is lower than the critical limit, a clear plant-rich situation is expected.

The results give a first impression of the water quality at the values entered by you. It gives an indication of the water quality in your river or ditch. The kP stands for critical phosphate load. Of course, this raises more questions. Please do not hesitate to contact us. See the contact details of aquatic ecologist Bob Brederveld below.
