Okay, here's some reasoning.
First and foremost, this is a
false color image.
It seems you do not understand what that means.
It means that different filters for different wavelengths are used in taking an image. Then, when processed, colors are assigned to these channels. We get an image that is not how it really looks, but rather a representation of different chemicals that are present. Look at false color images of Saturn. You'll see that they show the planet as mostly white, with multicolored stripes. Same for Jupiter false color iamges.
Natural color is obtainable by simply using green, red, and blue filters (maybe others). They are combined to show the images most like what the human eye would see. The technical term, IIRC, is simulated natural color.
Such images are rather bland, and so that's why scientists pick different wavelengths that bring out certain features of soils, clouds, ect.
In this case, we see how the soil is varied in it's contents.
Also understand that blue doesn't automatically mean water.
And let it be known that standing water in a situation like this
doesn't look blue. You can test this yourself by pouring a bucket of water on some dry dirt. You'll see that it mearly darkens the soil. It won't look blue.
