Scientific paper

Estimates of the amount of water outgassed from Mars and still present near the surface vary by two orders of magnitude: from 5-10 m of the equivalent layer over the entire planet (estimated from the low noble gas content of the Martian atmosphere) to 500 m (according to geologic data based on the analysis of causes and implications of floods around the Chryse basin). Ground water was apparently present over the entire surface of early Mars; currently at least a 50 m layer of water is present in the ground ice at depths of 1 km. The total abundance of water on Mars is estimated to be 7.5 x 10 to the 6th cu km.
