The dataset encompasses 22432 surface water sampling sites across seven continents (Fig.1). Since 2015, an ecohydrological observation system has been implemented in the Shiyang River Basin in the arid zone of Northwest China to systematically gather surface water stable isotope data, serving as the primary source of measured data.
