NDR_output_nutrient_retention

I read the discussion about output nutrient retention at NDR Output: Conceptual Understanding - #2 by jesseG @jesseG.
the solution was to calculate the raster result “modified_load_n ” MINUS “n_export.tif ” to get the nutrient retention service. My question is about values ​​in water bodies, if it is nutrient retention then it could be zero value in the water, but in my results the water has a value greater than zero.
