Water vapour masers and CO outflows are well known to be associated with the youngest phases of evolution of massive stellar objects. Nevertheless, up to now there is a lack of high resolution multiwavelength study of the regions containing these objects. Using the VLA, the CSO and the TIRGO equipped with the new Near-Infrared (NIR) camera ARNICA, we have begun a systematic study of water maser/CO outflow regions. These new high resolution and high sensitivity data have proved to be very useful in probing the star formation activity and the connection between infrared and radio sources. Here we report the results obtained in a preliminary sub- sample of objects. The NIR data showed that both the maser spots and the large- scale outflows tend to be associated to the most embedded and probably younger sources of the infrared clusters. Infrared emission lines observed with narrow band filters show the presence of jet-like structures in most of the sources observed. Water masers, jet-like and Herbig-Haro-like infrared structures, and CO outflows enable to probe ejection phenomena at all spacial scales ranging from 0.01 to 1 parsec.
