Giant flood channels and tree-like networks of tributaries have been found on Mars. Furthermore, specific minerals such as hematite and goethite have been found, both of which sometimes form in the presence of water. Jarosite has also been found by the Opportunity lander in 2004 - this only forms in acidic water, confirming that water must have been around in the past.
