As Nick Hoffman pointed out elsewhere:
"Although the GRS/Neutron suite has very poor spatial resolution, there
is still no sign of an elevation-related signal. One would expect
more/better liquid water at lower elevation but this is strikingly
absent in the data. The low-lying basins of Hellas, Argyre, and Isidis
are remarkably 'dry.' So too are the outflow channels in Chryse and
Cerberus - in fact there seems to be an anti-correlation between
outflow terrains and 'hydrated minerals.'"
