This is the classic fallacy of imagining a future problem with current technology.

By the time we have "one-million-person cities" on the moon, synthesizing water or hauling it from icy asteroids will not be a problem.

One point worth noting, as far as I can tell all the current research focuses on the surface. We simply don't know if there is water deeper than a few centimeters or feet under the surface.

Moon? I’m starting to wonder if there’s enough water for cities on earth.

It took 200 years of industrial revolution to irremediably fuck up our paradise, sadly it would take much longer to terraform a dead rock to even 1% of what we had on earth

Europe was deforested and you didn't drink from water downstream of cities long before the industrial revolution.

Not that it matters to your point about the moon.
