The Moon may contain hundreds of millions to several billion
metric tons of water ice in total, spread across polar regions
and microscopic "cold traps."
Some NASA studies estimate at least ~600 million metric tons.
The water ice is mixed with lunar dust (regolith), trapped inside permanently shadowed craters.
