Does there exist a list of all the evidence of water on Mars, listed by spacecraft?

Ideally, it would be a list with a short description and a link to a story or news release. For example:

Mars Global Surveyor: NASA Images Suggest Water Still Flows in Brief Spurts on Mars http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/new...s-20061206.html
Phoenix: NASA Spacecraft Confirms Martian Water, Mission Extended http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix/...x-20080731.html
Opportunity: NASA Mars Rover Finds Mineral Vein Deposited by Water http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mer/news/mer20111207.html

I know I could spend some time and extend the list that I've started above, but if someone or some organization has already done it I'd hate to reinvent the wheel!

Thank you.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the story is on several news outlets, so it seems appropriate to post the original paper here: Crocus melting on Mars:

Here is the complete abstract from the LPSC 2020 Marsbug.

I believe the last sentence in the abstract is germane. There simply isn't sufficient precipitable water vapor in the atmospheric column to create meaningful brine.
