“…Several estimates have been derived of paleodischarge rates in the tributaries and/or the outlets of Martian paleolakes, valley networks, or outflow channels [e.g., Carr , ; Komar , , ; Goldspiel and Squyres , ; Komatsu and Baker , ; Williams et al , ; Malin and Edgett , ; Burr , ; Wilson et al , ; Howard et al , ; Irwin et al , ; Jaumann et al , ; Kleinhans , ; Andrews‐Hanna and Phillips , ; Keszthelyi et al , ; Leask et al , ; Kraal et al , ; Wilson et al , ; Hoke et al , ; McIntyre et al , ]. Several techniques may be used to reconstruct the water discharge, depth, and velocity in ancient riverbeds and lakes.…”
