A reconstruction of the distribution of cold traps on the Moon at spatial scales varying from 1 km to 1 cm shows that the smallest ones are also the most numerous, 10–20% of the total. The total surface area of the Moon that can efficiently trap water is revised substantially upward, to 40,000 km2.
