The dataset contains 131 records of water quality analysis from streams in the Spreewitz Glacial Channel, located in the southern reclamation area of the Lusatian Mining District. Over recent decades, acidic mining drainage from former mining areas has led to elevated sulfate and iron concentrations in both groundwater and surface waters. The dataset includes surface water samples collected from 13 locations along the shorelines of the Spree, Kleine Spree, Schwarzer Schöps, and Struga streams, all of which drain the post-mining area of the Spreewitz Glacial Channel. Sampling occurred monthly or bimonthly between April 2024 and May 2026. On-site measurements included water temperature, redox potential, pH value and electric conductivity and oxygen concentration. Additionally, laboratory analyses determined the mass concentrations of 35 cations and anions in the water. As the monitoring campaign is ongoing, the dataset will be regularly updated.
