Yes, but not LIQUID water. In many cases, it's possible to detect things that are underground by radar, and by the type of return signal, figure out what kind of thing the radar pulse hit. Scientists controlling the Mars Surveyor satellite have bounced radar beams off of the north polar regions of Mars, and the return signal indicates that at least some water ice is buried a few centimeters underground.
