Water maser emission from star forming regions has been monitored for several decades using the Puschino radio telescope, showing radial velocity variations consistent with material in Keplerian orbit around protostars. MERLIN and the EVN are now being used to image the 22 GHz emission on au scales and measure proper motions. This will distinguish discs from outflows, and provide an estimate of the central mass and possibly orbiting condensations.
