Throughout the increasingly arid Southwest of the United States, vegetation loss in upland watersheds is leading to floods that scour soils and transport sediment that clogs downstream riparian areas and agricultural infrastructure. The resulting higher flow energies and diminished capacity to infiltrate flood flows are depleting soil water storage across the landscape, negatively impacting agriculture and ecosystems. Land and water managers face challenges to reverse the trends due to the complex interacting social and biogeophysical root causes. Presented here is an integrative system dynamics model that simulates innovative and transformative management scenarios. These scenarios include the natural and hydro-social processes and feedback dynamics critical for achieving long-term mitigation of droughts, flooding, and sediment transport. This model is a component of the Flood Flow Connectivity to the Landscape framework, which integrates spatial and hydrologic process models. Scenarios of support and collaboration for land management innovations are simulated to connect flood flow to the floodplains throughout the watershed to replenish soil storage and shallow groundwater aquifers across regional scales. The results reveal the management policy levers and trade-off balances critical for restoring management and water storage capacity to the system for long-term resilience.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems7040053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,28]],"date-time":"2019-11-28T10:54:10Z","timestamp":1574938450000},"page":"53","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Simulating a Watershed-Scale Strategy to Mitigate Drought, Flooding, and Sediment Transport in Drylands"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0491-2747","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Connie M.","family":"Maxwell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003-8003, USA"},{"name":"New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003-8001, USA"}]},{"given":"Saeed P.","family":"Langarudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003-8003, USA"}]},{"given":"Alexander G.","family":"Fernald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003-8003, USA"},{"name":"New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003-8001, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2069","DOI":"10.1890\/15-0938.1","article-title":"Western water and climate change","volume":"25","author":"Dettinger","year":"2015","journal-title":"Ecol.
