Lunar Water Supply May Run Out in a Decade, Threatening Moon City Plans

·1 viewsNew research has raised serious concerns about water scarcity on the Moon, posing a major challenge to proposals for large-scale lunar settlements. Scientists warn that a city of one million inhabitants could deplete available lunar water resources within a century, with revised estimates suggesting the timeline could be as short as ten years. Even efficient water recycling systems may not be sufficient to sustain such a large population long-term. Smaller lunar communities could potentially survive longer, but researchers stress that further investigation is essential before any large-scale colonization efforts are pursued.
