Abstract

The understanding of the star formation is still on progress. Especially, the formation of high-mass stars is much less understood than the low-mass case. Water, one of the most important molecules in the Universe, might elucidate key episodes in the process of stellar birth, and especially could be a major role in the formation of high-mass stars. We present here the first results of the WISH program, dedicated to the water study in star-forming regions with Herschel, concerning the massive star-forming regions.
