For analysing karst hydrogeological systems, observations of karst springs and cave drips are considered indispensable. In addition to hydrometric observations, knowing the oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope ratios has improved the understanding of vadose zone and aquifer dynamics, likewise supporting system characterisation and modelling. However, limited accessibility and high costs of the analysis of stable isotopes in karst aquifers have hindered progress in karst research and impeded the accurate understanding of karst processes especially when it comes to comparative or large-scale studies. In this study, we present our workflow to compile the WoKaS-Iso database, the first extensive collection of time series data for Oxygen-18 and Deuterium isotopes in karst springs and cave drip water from diverse sources, encompassing publications, theses, reports, online archives, and collaborative initiatives worldwide. The database incorporates data sourced from 241 springs and 74 caves, of which 73 caves contain 365 individual drip sites and one cave contains input data only. In total, the database comprises 1007 time series, including 389 spring time series and 618 cave drip water time series. The compiled isotope records span the period from 1967 to 2024, with the strongest temporal coverage during the 2010s and continuing coverage into the early 2020s. Of these sites, 148 springs and 64 caves contain both δ18O and δ2H records, while 93 springs and 9 caves contain only one isotope tracer. These datasets provide coverage across significant karst regions globally, spanning China, the USA, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. Within datasets, 79 % for springs and 68 % for cave drip water exhibit resolutions finer than monthly intervals. In addition, by integrating isotopic records with ancillary environmental variables including spring discharge, cave drip rate, precipitation, and rainwater isotopes, the database offers a more comprehensive perspective on hydrological behaviours in karst aquifers, hence advancing hydrogeological characterisation and modelling. The WoKaS-Iso database not only deepens the understanding of the complex systems but also promotes sustainable water resource management as well as the potential to foster collaborative research. The database can be accessed at: https://doi.org/10.25532/OPARA-909 (Zang, 2025).
