Well there was water and ice on mars a few thousand years ago. Dry river channels on the planet show us this.

The ice on the Planum B and A are probably frozen gas, not water. And fyi they think there WAS water on mars if not STLL and it just be all groundwater.

There is water on Mars. The problem is that it's all frozen. Frost is often observed, and recently a large body of frozen water was seen in a crater. One of the polar caps has a large quantity of water ice.
There is apparently no LIQUID water on Mars, because it is too cold and the atmospheric pressure is too low for water to stay liquid on the surface.

Well water is not the only thing that can make ice, most gases if cooled to a low enough temperature will form ice crystals, possibly the ice alleged to be on Mars is in fact frozen gases.

It look like there is some water on Mars, but most of what you see at the poles is frozen water. It's just not in a liquid form on the surface.

Water HAS been observed on Mars. Also carbon dioxide frost.

Well, there IS water on Mars, and anyway, why would one have an impact on the other?

Ice need not be made of water always.It can be made of frozen gas.
