Since the discovery of the 616-523 rotational transition of interstellar water in maser emission, several hundred sources have been discovered. Their profiles are very variable, presenting correlated variability (Gammon, 1976) or anticorrelated variability (Cesaroni, 1990). Several models have been proposed to explain this variability. Strong Galactic masers, such as W49 and W51 (Kylafis et al. 1991), and also an extremely strong outburst detected by Abraham et al. (1981) in Orion, could not be fully explained based on current models. We have monitored from October 1989 to July 1991 a very strong water vapour eruption in the +28 km s−1 feature, originated from W49N. Here we present the results and discuss the possible correlated variability of this feature with the one that appeared at +62 km s−1.
