Default Moon and Earth share water source

One explanation for the low deuterium/hydrogen ratio in ocean water
is based on the D/H ratio of hydrogen trapped in midocean
ridge basalts (tholeites). The ratio here is 77% lower than in ocean
water.
In addition to elevated deuterium, tholeites contain elevated amounts
of
primordial helium-3 and primordial neon-20, which point to primordial
origin of hydrogen.

Lowest D/H ratios in the solar system are found in the Sun,Jupiter
and Saturn:
