Allow me Pike.
No water except for the copious amounts frozen in polar ice caps (and that assumes none under the surface which isn't true since there's permafrost which stretches farther than the ice caps).
The Northern ice cap alone is about 56% the size of the Greenland ice sheet. The southern ice cap, despite covering a smaller area of the planets surface is thicker and has about as much ice as the Northern cap. If you melted one of them it would release enough water to cover the entire surface of Mars to a depth of about 11m (about 36 feet for you dirty yanks).
Does it ever get tiring being wrong about Mars TB?
