New Images Point To Recent Water Activity
Washington - June 22, 2000 - In what could turn out to be a landmark discovery in the history of Mars exploration, imaging scientists using data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft have recently observed features that suggest there may be current sources of liquid water at or near the surface of the red planet.

The new images show the smallest features ever observed from martian orbit -- about the size of a sport-utility vehicle. NASA scientists compare the features to those left by flash floods on Earth.

"We see features that look like gullies formed by flowing water and the deposits of soil and rocks transported by these flows. The features appear to be so young that they might be forming today. We think we are seeing evidence of a groundwater supply, similar to an aquifer," said Dr. Michael Malin, principal investigator for the Mars Orbiter Camera on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft at Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, Calif. "These are new landforms that have never been seen before on Mars." Click For Rest Of Story

It has water, but in an ice form located at the North and South poles of Mars.

im in a scholars colloqium at school of maryland, and my professor works for NASA and said that there is alot of analysis being done about terraforming mars. it extremely is in reality manipulating the ambience to act like earths so as that at very last human beings will be waiting to stroll round without section kit or something. more beneficial realistically, human beings are meant to comprehend mars through 2020, yet no date is determined for colonies or eternal existence on mars (likely yet another 50 years). also this date will possibly no longer happen through reality both applicants for president will likely decrease nasa funding... keep questioning about section!

As far as we know, any water on Mars, is tied up in the polar ice cap.

evidence has been found that there used to be water, streams, rivers, lakes, & oceans on Mars, but due the the high temperatures of heat, it evaporated & no longer exists, except for the polar ice caps

Its a good idea to take your own water with you when you visit mars.

It does not although there is evidence that makes scientists theorize that it one did.

There is also theory that there is water below the surface of Mars and Ice at the poles:

No it's too cold. It has frozen water/ice. The only water on it is the polar ice caps
