Runoff management structure photos

This dataset contains the list of photos used to illustrate runoff management structures across the world, as part of a paper titled "A framework for the sustainable maintenance of permanent runoff management structures in rainfed agriculture under climate change" to be published in the Journal of Environmental Management. 

The photos are included in figure 5 and illustrate examples of the heterogeneity of shapes, materials, and naming of the onsite runoff management structures worldwide. Terrace naming is based on Chen et al. (2017) and Dorren and Rey (2004) unless otherwise specified by the authors of the photos.
