Description
An extensive search for water vapor maser emission towards the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds is reported. The 616--523 transition of water molecule was detected in two H II regions in LMC (including N 159, previously was detected) and in two H II regions in SMC. A total of 32 positions was searched in both Clouds. The strength of the sources detected is comparable with galactic masers with luminosities L< or approx. =10-2L/sub sun/
