When micrometeoroids hit the lunar surface, they release water vapor that enters the Moon’s thin atmosphere. Some of this water falls back on the Moon and may be the source of water ice we’ve found at the Moon’s poles. https://go.nasa.gov/2UkSkIW pic.twitter.com/a2fPyYSSzs

The hydrated soil is drier than the driest desert
on Earth. You would need at least half a ton to yield one 8 oz. glass of water.

With lunar surface temperature variation from 127 C to minus 173 C, why doesn't water naturally out-gas over time? Does the dust cap insulate so well as to preclude that?
-
While the temperature of the surface swings between extreme hot and cold, the temperature of the soil at a few cm depth is a benign ~ -30 C. That’s due to the low conductive property of the material. The top few centimeters act as an insulating layer to the soil underneath.
