We present H_2O and H_218O profiles observed toward Intermediate Mass YSOs with HIFI onboard Herschel. The data presented has unprecedented resolution at these wavelengths and constitute a part of the legacy of the Water in Star Forming Regions with Herschel (WISH) Key Program. Intermediate Mass YSOs exhibit properties common to both low- and high-mass stars and can, in some cases, act as a nearby, more easily observable proxy to high-mass star formation but can also elucidate the differences between low- and high-mass star formation, and under what conditions these differences occur. Our sources have been chosen to encompass a range of properties in order to investigate what water can tell us about these important objects and include; Class 0 and Class 1 objects; those forming in isolation and in clustered environments; and, sources with or without known outflow. In this presentation we compare and contrast water profiles among our sources. The observations were made toward the YSO but the H_2O profiles are dominated by the outflow rather than the central envelope and can be modelled as consisting of a broad component due to the outflow, a medium component due to the envelope and, in the case of the ground state lines a narrow component in absorption resulting from self-absorption by the cold outer envelope. Despite this commonality, the observed profiles are distinct from source to source, see the figure comparing the H_2O 110--101 among a sample of our sources.
