  11. CONCLUSIONSANDFUTUREWORK •)The results obtained towards IRAS 20126+4104demonstrate that sensitive, multiepoch, phase-reference VLBI of water masers can unveil the gas kinematics near a high-mass YSO. •)Towards IRAS 20126+4104, water masers are clearly tracing a well collimated outflow, which remains similar, also in position angle, at a distance from the origin ranging from 0”.1 to 10”. •)We have extended the observations to a larger sample (5) of high-mass protostars in order to asses the association of the maser spots with the bipolar outflows and study the velocity field on scales of ca. 100 AU, in other sources. •)We plan to follow up the study of these new sources with proper motion measurements.
