     • Understanding the extent and situation of water on Mars is vital to assess the planet's potential for harboring life and for providing usable resources for future human exploration. For this reason, "Follow the Water" was the science theme of NASA 's Mars Exploration Program (MEP) in the first decade of the 21st century.

   Sep 28, 2015 · New findings from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars. Using an imaging spectrometer on MRO, researchers detected signatures of hydrated minerals on slopes where mysterious streaks are seen on the Red Planet.

   Jan 26, 2022 · Mars once rippled with rivers and ponds billions of years ago, providing a potential habitat for microbial life. As the planet’s atmosphere thinned over time, that water evaporated, leaving the frozen desert world that NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) studies today.

   Mars contains water, though mostly as permafrost. As top surface layer water appears readily visible at some places, such as the polar Korolev Crater. Almost all water on Mars today exists as polar permafrost ice, though it also exists in small quantities as vapor in the atmosphere. [1]

   Is there water on Mars today?

   • There is water on Mars today, but the Martian atmosphere is too thin for liquid water to exist for long on the surface. Today, water on Mars is found in the form of water-ice just under the surface in the polar regions as well as in briny (salty) water, which seasonally flows down some hillsides and crater walls.

   Did Mars have a watery past?

   • Mars appears to have had a watery past, with ancient river valley networks, deltas, and lakebeds, as well as rocks and minerals on the surface that could only have formed in liquid water. Some features suggest that Mars experienced huge floods about 3.5 billion years ago.

   Was Mars once underwater?

   • NASA/GSFC About one-fifth of Mars was once underwater, raising the prospects for life. Although the surface of Mars is presently cold and dry, plenty of evidence suggests that the red planet was once partly covered with water.

   Could water fill the oceans on Mars?

   • As per estimates, there may be enough water, trapped in tiny cracks and pores of rock in the middle of the Martian crust, to fill oceans on the planet’s surface. The groundwater would likely cover the entirety of Mars to a depth of 1 mile (1.6 kilometers), the study found.
