Short summary
Many chemicals such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals or household chemicals impair water quality in many areas worldwide. Measuring pollution everywhere is too costly. Models can be used instead to predict where high pollution levels are expected. We tested a model that can be used across large river basins. We find that for the selected chemicals predictions are generally within a factor of 2 to 4 from observed concentrations. Often, knowledge about the chemical use limits the predictions.
