It is strange how scientists draw their conclusions - even as recently as 28th Oct 2009 when they already knew there was lots of water on the Moon. I have bolded a part of the text where they assure us there is no water hiding below the surface.

This page makes some pretty bold statements about the dry lunar soil. Now - either the electrical experiments are wrong or they have been interpreted incorrectly. Of course, it could also be that that particular place is dry as a bone.

Tracks are clearly visible and can be followed to the east, where astronauts Jack Schmitt and Gene Cernan set up the Surface Electrical Properties (SEP) experiment. Cernan drove the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) in an intersecting north-south and east-west course to mark positions for laying out the SEP thirty-five meter antennas (circle labeled "SEP" marks the area of the SEP transmitter). The dark area just below the SEP experiment is where the astronauts left the rover, in a prime spot for monitoring the liftoff.

The SEP allowed scientists to characterize the electrical properties of the regolith, which are important for interpreting remote sensing measurements of the Moon such as radar and microwave sounders. One interesting direct result of the experiment was the discovery that the soil is extremely dry, with no water hiding below the surface!
