We study theoretically interference effects in the photoionization of water molecules by linearly polarized radiation. We employ Coulomb continuum wavefunctions for the final state and linear combinations of Slater type orbitals located on the centers of the molecule for the bound states. We calculate total and differential cross sections where we put in evidence three-center interference effects coming from the coherent emission fromeach center. We verify that these effects may produce a partial suppression of the emission in the classical direction given by the polarization vector.
