Single ionization from water molecules by impact of bare ions is studied. Different approximations are employed, within the post and prior versions of the continuum distorted wave-eikonal initial state model, to calculate double differential cross sections. Post-prior discrepancies are observed between theoretical results. The sensitivity of the calculations to the description of the inicial bound orbitals is investigated.
