Earth's moon has no surface liquid water. Those dark patches that are called "mare" (Italian word for "sea") are actually just darker colored material, which most likely up welled as molten rock from massive impacts eons ago.

There IS subsurface water ice, however, beneath lunar soil in polar craters hidden in perpetual shadow. The ejecta from NASA's Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite(LCROSS), which was dropped into a polar crater, revealed atomic absorption spectra for water.
