2)The bioreactor units and subunits did not treat all drainage water from the catchment but only the relative share indicated in this column. For Gyldenholm and Hofmansgave, the share was based on measured amount of inlet water to the reactors, measured total water amount from the catchment and measured bypass flow. For the other three reactors, the relative share was estimated based on drainage maps and drained area compared to the size of the topographic catchment
