The diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method is applied to compute the ground state energies of the water monomer and dimer and their D{sub 2}O isotopomers using MB-pol; the most recent and most accurate ab inito-based potential energy surface (PES). MB-pol has already demonstrated excellent agreement with high level electronic structure data, as well as agreement with some experimental, spectroscopic, and thermodynamic data. Here, the DMC binding energies of (H{sub 2}O){sub 2} and (D{sub 2}O){sub 2} agree with the corresponding values obtained from velocity map imaging within, respectively, 0.01 and 0.02 kcal/mol. This work adds two more valuable data points that highlight the accuracy of the MB-pol PES.
