What evidence do we have that there was running (liquid) water on mars in the past? what evidence is there for water coming out of the ground even today?

Scientific evidence of mars atmosphere from the past

Explanation:

The martian atmosphere consists mostly of carbon dioxide, but is very thin, less than 1% of Earth's atmosphere. However, the strong evidence of water on Mars in the past that our missions have found means that the atmosphere must have been thicker and warmer, or water would have evaporated away very quickly.

it doesn't. it was imagined up in the middle ages.
