Abstract
Recent advances in the use of neutron diffraction methods for studying the microscopic properties of water are described. The determination of the molecular conformation shows the effective stretching due to hydrogen bonding. Temperature variation studies indicate significant re-arrangement of local molecular configurations which are related to the network structure of amorphous ice. Studies of H2O/D2O mixtures can give information on partial g(r) functions but the interpretation is complicated by the apparent non-equivalence of H and D. Some preliminary studies of water in porous silica are also presented
