Thanks for reply.

Here I have tried as you have suggested.
When check number of water using watershell command for lower 3 angostrom approx
4-5 water molecule and for upper 5 angostrom approx 6 - 10 water through the
trajectry.

But when I used closest command water which it is selecting are too far from mask.

I was gussing that this is because of since it was firt 2ns run trajectry after
total 1ns heating and
equilibration steps but if watershell command showing that water availabel at
3 angostrom distace from mask.Then why not closest command showing this?
