If I had $100 to distribute to the water in the world I have to figure out where to put the money to represent accordingly. I think that I would put about $80 to all the oceans in the world. I would put $5 into the smaller salt-water bodies. for glaciers and icecaps I would give $10. For lakes/rivers/ and streams I would give $2.50. for groundwater I would give $2. for atmosphere I would give 50 cents.
Real answers: I way overestimated the amount of freshwater we have available on earth. Only 3% of earths water is fresh. 97% is ocean water. for the 3% the break apart is 69% glacier, 30% groundwater, and less than 1% in lakes rivers and streams.
$96.50 oceans
$1.74 icecaps
$1.69 groundwater
$0.022 permafrost
$0.007 fresh water lakes
$0.006 salt water lakes and seas
$0.001 soil moisture
$0.001 atmosphere
