Some geometric aspects of Wasserstein spaces through the continuity equation as worked out in mass transportation theory is investigated. By defining a suitable homology on the flat torus \(\mathbb{R}^n\), is proved that the space \({\mathcal P}_p(\mathbb{T}^n)\) has nontrivial homology in a metric sense. As a byproduct of the developed tools, is showed that every parametrization of a Mather's minimal measure on \(\mathbb{T}^n\) corresponds to a mass minimizing metric current on \({\mathcal P}_p(\mathbb{T}^n)\) in its homology class.
