The contribution summarizes the development of isotope hydrology and hydrogeology in the Czech and Slovak Republic over the past 40 years. Records of 18O and 2H in nine experimental catchments and their interpretation provide a description of runoff component mixing from various soil and rock environments, as well as a calculation of mean water residence time of 7 to 25 months. The 18O and 2H content in two profiles of the Jizera River and two boreholes in the lower reaches shows little communication of river water with the groundwater supply resources in the Lower Jizera area; the communicaton increases with pumping intensity. The 18O and 2H content in wetlands and groundwater in two catchments of the Jizera Mts. shows the differences in recharge to the wetlands via groundwater or precipitation. The isotope hydrology and hydrogeology perspectives in the ČR and SR include capacity building, cooperation of laboratories and conjunctive use of izotopic and hydrogeochemical approaches.
