Packhunt is a “marketplace for apps” offering digital solutions for the infrastructure, architecture, engineering and construction sectors. It provides support for design and construction.

We are making PCLake and PCDitch available to the construction sector free of charge via Packhunt. This enables a more comprehensive analysis of the opportunities for construction projects. Policy makers, consultants, developers and managers can use PCLake and PCDitch to easily gain insight into the ecological status of water bodies and the effect of possible measures.

The issue of water quality rarely stands alone. It plays a key role in broader spatial and social issues such as climate adaptation, agricultural transition and urban development. An integrated approach to water quality leads to better-informed choices and more sustainable design. Insights from models such as PCLake and PCDitch help to reveal these connections and tailor measures effectively to the environment.

Measures to improve the water quality of lakes, ditches and rivers are often costly. You want to be sure that you are taking the right ones. That is why it is important to have a good understanding of the current ecological status and the expected effect of possible interventions in advance. PCLake is suitable for standing waters such as lakes and ponds, while PCDitch focuses on shallow waterways such as ditches. Both models simulate the relationship between nutrients, algae, aquatic plants and other ecological processes. They are a powerful tool for substantiating targeted measures and enable more effective water management. Read more about PCLake and PCDitch.
