Would this water be drinkable if we inhabit Mars?

  Maybe not directly - who knows what's dissolved in there.

    Yeah but it wouldn't be that hard to seperate the water.

  A co-author seems to think so: >The new study ... identifies eight sites where ice is directly accessible, at latitudes with less hostile conditions than at Mars' polar ice caps. "Astronauts could essentially just go there with a bucket and a shovel and get all the water they need," Byrne said.

  Nothing that our filters cannot solve. Worst case we distill it and add some minerals back.
