Study Suggests Insufficient Water for Lunar Cities, Challenges Long-Term Sustainability

A new study published in Frontiers in Space Technologies indicates that current estimates of water on the Moon are significantly lower than what would be required to sustain large lunar cities. Researchers suggest that even a small city could deplete its water resources in about a decade, challenging ambitious plans for extensive lunar colonization and highlighting the need for improved water recycling, alternative sources, or the discovery of more water.
