Water maser emission at 22 GHz is a good tracer of mass-loss activity in young stars. In order to get a better characterization of the age and physical properties of young stellar objects, we undertook the most sensitive survey to date for water maser emission towards northern Bok globules, using NASA's 70m antenna in Robledo (Spain) and the VLA. We propose to extend this sensitive water masers search to the southern Bok globules in order to complete this systematic and sensitive survey. Our goals are to detect the first water masers known in these southern globules, get information about the stage of the evolution, kinematics and physical properties of these southern small clouds, and provide a reference work for future studies of Bok globules and star formation in general. Since Tidbinbilla is identical to Robledo antenna, with the proposed observations we would have a consistent survey in terms of angular resolution and sensitivity, using the same effective integration time as in the northern hemisphere.
