This may come as a shock to many but there are other theories around concering the water on Mars. People should do a bit of research and not only believe what mainstream popular science has to offer.

There is a very plausable theory of a missing planet that has exploded. This planet had a lot of water much like earth has now. This planet is at this stage the only real explanation of the origen of comets. The traditional models are insuffisient. It is the only model that can explain all the meteorites properly and has even successfully been used to predict meteorite showers. It also explains the water on Jupiter's moon's and is probably the sole cause of craters on our solar system's planets and our own moon.

Mars could have been just a close planet, but more likely was a moon of this planet. That would explain why Mars' souther hemosphere's crust is thicker. It starts off at about 20km and thins out to 1km. The whole northern hemosphere is about 1km thick. Mars was struck from the south. Mars was probably covered with water completely. Unfortunately Mars' gravity is not strong enough and ass time passed, it lost a lot of its water. I think that most of it just sank into Mars' soil and rocks where it frose. The comet and meteorite kept hitting the planet though. The craters looks like when you throw pebles into a mud pond. Since the Southern hemisphere is thicker, the water flowed to the lower regions which caused canyons. The water covered areas also show much fewer craters.

This also did not happen that long ago geologicaly speaking. The craters should have dissapeared log ago because Mars' atmosphere is dense enough for that and has a lot of wind storms for erosion.
