#' Calculate groundwater retention of nutrients
#' 
#' Function to calculate nutrient load retention fractions in groundwater parts of HYPE, i.e. after root zone retention. See Details for 
#' exact definition.
#' 
#' @param nfrz Data frame with two-columns. Sub-basin IDs in first column, net loads from root zone in kg/year in second column. Typically an 
#' imported HYPE map output file, HYPE output variable SL06. See Details. 
#' @param gts3 Data frame with two-columns. Sub-basin IDs in first column, gross loads to soil layer 3 in kg/year in second column. 
#' Typically an imported HYPE map output file, HYPE output variable SL17. See Details. 
#' @param nfs3 Data frame with two-columns. Sub-basin IDs in first column, net loads from soil layer 3 in kg/year in second column. 
#' Typically an imported HYPE map output file, HYPE output variable SL18. See Details. 
#' @param gd Data frame, with columns containing sub-basin IDs and rural household emissions, e.g. an imported 'GeoData.txt' file. 
#' See details. 
#' @param unit.area Logical, set to \code{FALSE} to calculate incoming load (leaching rates) in kg/year instead of kg/(ha year).
#' @param par List, HYPE parameter list, typically an imported 'par.txt' file. Must contain parameter \emph{locsoil} (not case-sensitive). 
#' @param nutrient Character keyword, one of the HYPE-modeled nutrient groups, for which to calculate groundwater retention. Not 
#' case-sensitive. \emph{Currently, only \code{tn} (total nitrogen) is implemented.}
#' 
#' @details 
#' \code{GwRetention} calculates a groundwater nutrient retention as fractions of outgoing and incoming loads using HYPE soil load variables. Incoming loads  
#' include drainage into layer 3 from the root zone (defined as soil layer 1 and 2), rural load fractions into soil (dependent on parameter \emph{locsoil}), 
#' tile drainage, surface flow, and flow from layer 1 and 2. Outgoing loads include runoff from all soil layers, tile drain, and surface flow.
#' 
#' The retention fraction \emph{R} is calculated as (see also the 
#' \href{http://hype.smhi.net//wiki/doku.php?id=start:hype_model_description:hype_np_soil#diagnostic_output_variables_of_soil_nutrients}{variable description in the HYPE online documentation}):
#' 
#' \eqn{R = 1 - \frac{OUT}{IN} = 1 - \frac{nfrz - gts3 + nfs3 + locsoil * lr}{nfrz + locsoil * lr}}{R = 1 - OUT/IN = 1 - (nfrz - gts3 + nfs3 + locsoil * lr)/li} [-]
#'
#'  \eqn{li = nfrz + locsoil * lr} \[kg/y\]
#'
#'  \eqn{lr = LOC_VOL * LOC_TN * 0.365} \[kg/y\]
#' 
#' , where \emph{li} is incoming load to groundwater (leaching rates), \emph{lr} is rural load (total from GeoData converted to kg/yr; \emph{locsoil} in the formula converts it to rural load into soil layer 3), and 
#' \emph{nfrz}, \emph{gts3}, \emph{nfs3} are soil loads as in function arguments described above. See Examples for HYPE variable names for \code{TN} loads.
#' 
#' Columns \code{SUBID}, \code{LOC_VOL}, and \code{LOC_TN} must be present in \code{gd}, for a description of column contents see the
#' \href{http://hype.smhi.net//wiki/doku.php?id=start:hype_file_reference:geodata.txt}{GeoData file description in the HYPE online documentation}. 
#' Column names are not case-sensitive. 
#' 
#' @return 
#' \code{GwRetention} returns a three-column data frame, containing SUBIDs, retention in groundwater as a fraction of incoming loads 
#' (if multiplied by 100, it becomes \%), and incoming loads to groundwater (leaching rates) in units depending on argument \code{unit.area}.
