Abstract
This work presents the dataset of stable water isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen measured in water samples from different sources (precipitation, surface water, groundwater, tap water) across Kazakhstan from 2017 to 2018 and from 2020 to 2023. The dataset includes results on isotopic composition of 399 water samples, namely precipitation: event-based (n = 108), cumulative monthly (n = 22); surface water: lakes, reservoirs, brooks, rivers, channels (n = 175), groundwater: shallow and artesian groundwater, spring (n = 85), tapwater (n = 9). For each sample name of the source, location, latitude, longitude and date of sampling, measurement uncertainty (one standard deviation) are available. The samples were assessed by plotting the data in dual δ18O vs. δ2H isotope space with reference to values found in the published literature and fitting a linear regression equation for Astana (event) precipitation. Overall, this is the first dataset covering wide range of sources across Kazakhstan, which could be used by global and regional water resource assessments and studies such as tracing water sources, hydrograph separation and end-member analyses, isotope mass balance, evapotranspiration partitioning, residence time analysis and groundwater recharge. Data availability: The exploratory dataset of isotopic composition of different water sources across Kazakhstan.
