The calculation of differential cross section for e$^-$-H$_2$O follows
the theory developed by Thompson. For the calculation of the molecular
orbitals the following atomic orbitals habe been taken: orbitals $s$,
$p$ and $d$ for oxygen and $s$ and $p$ for hydrogen. The T-matrices habe
been calculated from the K-matrices and then weighted with the
eigenfunctions of the linear harmonic oscillator. The geometry used for
the water molecule is 1.8 a$_0$ for the OH bound and 105$^o$ for the
angle.
