It's more correct to say water is not present in large, surface quantities on the moon, because it would sublimate into space almost immediately. But a project recently sent a rocket crashing into a polar region of the moon, and found that there is fairly substantial subsurface water locked up in the moons soil and rocks, at least in the polar regions - enough to supply a continual source for water if and when the moon is colonized.
