- Retric 9y agoIt could be useful when going from the 10 million people on Mars to the 10 billion people on Mars stage. However, at that point 'colonization' is already a solved problem.

So, there is actually plenty of water for arbitrarily large colonies. However, I assume people would want large lakes for various reasons.
