Competing Interests

I have read the journal’s policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests. The research and the University of Melbourne positions held by CJW, MJB, DGB, PP, JK, and SJI are all funded by the Melbourne Waterway Research-Practice Partnership, between the University of Melbourne and Melbourne Water (MW). MW is a corporation wholly owned by the Government of Victoria, with statutory responsibilities for the management of rivers and other waterways of the Melbourne region. They fund public-good research to further the environmental sustainability of their operations. In a previous role, TDF received payment as for his contribution to the engineering design of the Wicks Reserve Infiltration System, subsequently constructed by Knox City Council (KCC) and MW in the D8 catchment. Neither the authors’ partnership with and funding by MW, nor past work with KCC, alter their adherence to PLOS Water policies. The authors have no other competing interests.
