Scientific paper

The possibility that Venus once had abundant water is discussed. The equilibrium condensation model for planetary formation is reviewed. It is suggested that this model is flawed because it presumes that planets formed with little or no mixing of planetesimals outside the planet's immediate vicinity and because the model ignores the role of comets. The question of how much water Venus lost is examined and a model for the history of water on Venus is outlined.
