Abstract
The data presented here include the results of oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δ2H) isotope analyses of water and human scalp hair samples collected from throughout the South Korea. The purpose of data collection was to generate isoscapes of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes for South Korea. To achieve the objective, we collected human scalp hair and three different types of water samples: groundwater, stream water and tap water. The data presented in the article are raw isotope data of water and hair samples in tabulated manner and interpolated isoscapes generated using those data. Further information related to the datasets and discussion about them can be found in the related research article entitled “Spatial variations in oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in waters and human hair across South Korea” [1].

Summary
56 groundwater, 130 stream water and 91 tap water samples, and 100 human scalp hair samples were collected across South Korea and analyzed for δ18O and δ2H. M.K., Song, B.Y., Shin, W.J., Bong, Y.S., Lee, K.S., Spatial variations in oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in waters and human hair across South Korea [1]. The data presented include oxygen (δ18O), hydrogen (δ2H) and d-excess values (d = δ2H – (8 × δ18O) [2] from three types of meteoric water (groundwater, stream water and tap water) and human scalp hair collected from across South Korea (Fig. 1). To understand the isotopic distribution on national scale, interpolated maps or isoscapes were developed, and spatial distribution of δ18O, δ2H and d-excess values were presented in Gautam et al (in press) [1] and in the Fig. 2
