Yes. 70% of the Earth is covered with water, while the Moon has no surface water at all. It's likely that there is a lot of water either frozen in the subselenian soil ("Terra" is the Latin word for Earth, while "Selene" is the Latin name for the Moon, so "subterranean" meaning "under the Earth" is the same idea as "subselenian" for "Under the Moon").
We also know that there's a lot of ice or frost in deep craters around the polar regions, where the Sun never shines.
