The current understanding of the seasonal water cycle on Mars is summarized. A brief history of the observations of water vapor in the Martian atmosphere and an outline of the seasonal water cycle are presented. Attention is given to the possible exchange of atmospheric water with nonatmospheric reservoirs of water, the role of transport of water through the atmosphere either as vapor or as condensate via the atmospheric circulation, and inferences about the behavior of the seasonal water cycle at other epochs, when the solar forcing would have been different from that at the present due to Mars having had different orbital elements. Measurements and analyses which are to play an important role in understanding the seasonal water cycle are summarized.
