If they can give sufficient evidence that there was a great amount of water on Mars, that would indeed be interesting.

However, the team of scientists said this is the first time that they have been able to infer the date and duration for which this river system existed. They said this river system flowed for hundreds of thousands of years about 3.7 billion years ago.
