Precipitation probably fell in the highlands as snow. This may have accumulated to a great depth. Periodically those snow packs may have melted, causing a flash stream to occur.

It is not only evaporation but also sublimation which make their toll and quite early in the history of the planet. Presence of water on Mars is indeed old news (more that 30 years old actually) and already extensively discussed e.g. here http://www.uapress.arizona.edu/onlinebks/ResourcesNearEarthSpace/resources26.pdf The low gravity is the primary responsible of water loss (as for the atmosphere).

We got the message. How many times will they repeat these news over and over? We have been knowing that there is water on Mars for decades now. What huge discovery is Curiosity going to make next? That the Mars surface is red? Yeah, there is water on Mars. We got the message.
