The global geometrical properties of Early martian networks (width-depth-length evolution) indicates a non convergence of fluid (water) supply at the outlet of each valley networks. The geometrical (erosional) properties of the valley were controlled at first order by (1) martian global slope and (2) the presence of local escarpment (crater rims, dichotomy..) rather than erosion due to fluid (water) accumulation along the watershed. On Earth the water flux convergence at the outlet of the rivers are associated with widespread rain upon all the watershed, we can considered that on Mars, such a mechanism was minor and we must envisage other multiple, abundant but discrete sources of fluid probably associated with meteoritic bombardments and/or volcanism (permafrost melting).
