There's economical aspects. Finding a source of water—er, Dasani—would mean future manned missions to the moon would not need to bring tanks of it with them. Although establishing manned bases on the moon is still a far-future scenario, the existence of Dasani would make such a plan theoretically possible. Also, knowing that the liquid is there would likely lead to more sponsored exploration on the moon and an eventual bottling plant.
