Spectroscopic data (energy levels, transition frequencies and Einstein A coefficients) were taken from JPL. Full quantum calculations for collisional (de)excitation of ortho- and para-H₂O by ortho- and para-H₂ are taken from the references given below. These rates were calculated for temperatures in the range from 5 to 1500 K including energy levels up to about 1400 cm^-1 (2000 K) above ground.

In addition, collision data are provided for the rovibrational excitation of H₂O by H₂ and by electrons, after Faure & Josselin (2008). These datafiles include energy levels up to 5000 cm^-1 (7200 K) above ground (Tennyson et al 2001) and radiative rates from the BT2 list (Barber et al 2006), and cover collision temperatures from 200 to 5000 K. Note that the frequencies of high-(v,J) transitions are generally not to spectroscopic accuracy. We thank Alexandre Faure for these rovibrational datafiles.
