Explanation: In all, the water content on Earth is approximately about 1.39 billion cubic kilometers (331 million cubic miles), with the bulk of it being in global oceans (about 96.5%). For the rest of the water, about 1.7% is stored in the polar ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow, and another 1.7% is stored in groundwater, lakes, rivers, streams, and soil. Only a thousandth of 1% of the water on Earth exists as water vapor in the atmosphere.
The required order is Ice caps > Groundwater > Lakes and rivers > Atmosphere.
