A recent new study by American media shows that people can dig wells on the surface of Mars to get enough water to sustain human life. This is because the first human pioneers who arrived on Mars will face a huge challenge, that is, water shortage.

If humans land on Mars in the future, they will need drinking water and water to grow irrigated crops and even use it as fuel to return to the earth. It will be a great challenge for water to reach Mars. And it has been detected that there are indeed traces of water on Mars. In 20 18, scientists discovered some water resources under Mars, which will be a major breakthrough in our exploration of Mars and provide resources for the arrival of the first batch of Martians. At present, the surface erosion of Mars has exposed eight freezing points, some of which are very shallow, only below the surface of Mars 1 m, and the deepest freezing point is below the surface of Mars 100 m, or even deeper.

These water resources are considered as rich hidden resources, including those areas that are considered as potential landing sites for future human tasks. It would be great if these reservoirs could provide resources for the first arrivals.

So how to drill water resources on Mars?

The team is currently working at the Rodriguez well in Greenland, which was mined by the US military in the early 1960s. Since then, this drilling technology has been used in remote areas, including Amundsen Scott Antarctic Station. The measure taken by scientists is Rodriguez well. The principle of Rodriguez well is to drill through the surface to reach the ice under the ice, melt some ice, form a pool, and then pump water. By continuously pumping heat into the underground pool, a reservoir and a continuous water supply system are gradually formed. Researchers say that some Mars probes have the ability to drill and find water on the surface of Mars.

In the report, the researchers pointed out that by reviewing the technology of extracting water resources from these underground ice layers, we found a seemingly feasible solution in the Martian environment: heating the ice layer and drilling a debris layer on the surface of Mars to form an underground reservoir.

Well Rodriguez forms a pool by drilling underground ice. By continuously pumping heat into the pool, a continuous system is formed for use. And it is estimated that by building this well, Mars can produce 380 liters of water every day!

It produces 380 liters of water a day, which is close to the per capita water consumption in the United States. Although scientists have long known that there is ice on the surface of Mars, according to a recent article in the American magazine Science, a better understanding of the depth and location of ice may be very important for human beings to explore the Martian environment in the future.

Some American media reports mentioned that this will be a major breakthrough in human development, and technology can guarantee the water resources of the first group of travelers.
