That they're liquid seems to be only speculation at this stage.

if they arent water then what else can they be?


I have no idea, but that's not the point. You can't do science on a
different planet through a remote controlled machine via a process of
elimination.

As pointed out in the article there is a simple test that could be
applied to determine whether the surface is liquid. Until that test, or
an equivalent one, is performed, the liquid status is only speculation.
