If there was ever water on Mars, then there might have been life that evolved on Mars, and possibly even life that was carried to the Earth as a result of some violent meteoric impact which sent debris into outer space from Mars. In any event, scientists are engaged in an effort to better understand the universe in which we live, and this is a significant detail that they would like to know. As our understanding increases we often do not know exactly what the implications or consequences will be, of any new discovery, but we keep discovering things just to see where they may lead us.

What type of water is on Mars?

There is water in the form of ice under the "top-soil" of mars and when ever it gets uncovered it evaporates fairly quickly. so there is also water vapor, what happens to that vapor I don't know. Currently we don't know if there is liquid water on mars, we haven't found any yet, and just the fact that there is water-ice on mars is really miraculous
