Believed to be old, to have free running water on a planet surface requires a "decent" atmosphere otherwise the water would just vapourise. The majority of the martian atmosphere froze out billions of years ago as the sun cooled and siesmic activity declined (waning heat sources). This lack of atmosphere means no drastic weather, no rain ,no wind so goegraphically not much has changed up there hence the preservation of water channels.
