The moon's "atmosphere" is a veritable vacuum, and water (solid or liquid) vaporizes in a vacuum.
Given that, the presence of water on the moon would be evident ... visible in said "atmosphere" ... and no such presence is indicated.

Water on the moon shouldn't be hard to find.
Andy Williams said that the Moon River was wider than a mile.

Yes, the idea is to drill to find water, mainly at the South Pole inside of deep craters that never are exposed to sunlight. It would be ice. But this could be the source of water for colonies.
