Where is the "Water" of Mars? (Equatorial and Middle Latitude Regions)
A Neutron Spectrometer on the Mars Odyssey Spacecraft measures the abundances of neutrons of various energies emitted from Mars' Surface.
The ratio of low- to high-energy neutrons is a sensitive test of water abundances within a meter of Mars' surface.

There is LOTS of water. No one had expected any where near this much water near the Martian Surface.

All this is BETTER described in a press release from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, home of the Neutron Spectrometer and the scientists who run it (http://www.lanl.gov/news/releases/archive/03-101.shtml).
