In the absence of juvenile liquid water, condensation and subsequent melting of ice are the only means of producing liquid water on the Martian surface. However, the evaporation rate is so high that the available heat sources cannot melt ice on Mars. Melting might occur only in concentrated solutions of strongly deliquescent salts.
