A comparison of J = 2→1 12CO/13CO maps and H2O maser observations with an already existing NH3 map of the molecular cloud G35.2-0.74 reveals several interesting features. Estimates for the mass of the cloud of a few times 103M_sun; are obtained from both 13CO and NH3. The cloud contains at least two water masers. Near the northern H2O source, the 12CO spectra show self-absorption effects together with a fairly wide velocity emission. A further H2O maser is found 3 arcmin to the south, near a compact H II region. Line splitting by 3-4 km s-1 is here observed in the 13CO, NH3 and H2O spectra. If the line splitting represents expansion, then momentum considerations suggest that it is more likely to be driven by a stellar wind than by radiation pressure from the star exciting the H II region.
