Crater is prime spotGrotzinger said another reason they chose Gale as a landing spot is because it is in a low-elevation position - and water runs downhill.

Imagine the opportunities if we stop building in low-elevation places (say, less than 8 meters above sea level) and instead concentrated on making sure our crops and meat animals and fish stocks are as healthy as possible.
-
As a result, grid cells that include mountains and smaller valleys can exhibit particularly large differences in precipitation compared to recording stations that are typically located in low-elevation valleys.

-
Gently undulating, low-elevation coastal plain composed of unconsolidated sediments, and distinguished by sandy, droughty, infertile soils, frequent fires, and extensive pine-oak woodlands.
-
For example, all the ACIA-designated models project an increase in temperature that is very likely to result in thawing of permafrost along the southern limit of its present-day distribution (section 6.6.1.3) and in low-elevation basins in the southern Yukon, central Alaska, and southwestern portions of the Northwest Territories.
-
In addition, if the sea level rises as projected as a consequence of climate warming, many low-elevation nesting islands used by eiders, terns, and gulls will be inundated, resulting in decreased numbers of these species.

In one model, values for high - and low-elevation terrain may be integrated to calculate a single number for the climate parameter, whereas in another model the grid cell may be placed in a way that the surface of the earth is more uniformly high or low.
