    We cann't understand how you come to a number that in Denmark the irrigation is more than 1000 m3 per hectare.

    Under SOE-Wise 3 we have reported that abstraction to irrigation in 2016 was 177 mio. m3. According to Statistics Denmark the agricultural area in 2016 was 2.625.093  hectare (https://www.dst.dk/da/Statistik/emner/erhvervslivets-sektorer/landbrug-gartneri-og-skovbrug/det-dyrkede-areal# ). Using these two numbers the irrigation abstraction for Denmark in 2016 is c. 67 m3 per hectare - a significantly smaller number than the one you show in the report.

       Tanks for this feedback. Now it has been corrected based on the data from the dasnih Statistical Office.
