The work here represents the summary of observations made with the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO) 26 m telescope of the water vapour (H2O) Masers in the Orion KL source region for a period of 8 months during the flare of 2011. The observation setup, calibration method together with the resulting maser time series are discussed.
