During Sols 117-118, Mark Watney notices that the water reclaimer is not working properly, so he dismantles the reclaimer and cleans the tubes. The water reclaimer should process 20 liters per day, however, it has only been processing 10 liters at most (Weir 151-152). Watney did not know that the water evaporating from the plants would

They were able to conclude that this was probably the case as a result of discovering several bones of the Majungatholus dinosaur with specific tooth marks in them that researchers have proven belonged to the Majungatholus dinosaur.
