According to one source ("How Stuff Works") It is estimated that there are about 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 (three hundred and twenty-six million trillion) gallons of water on Earth, including the oceans, rivers, lakes, underwater springs and wells, the ice caps, atmospheric vapour, and the fluids in your body (and in everything else, too).

The oceans cover about 72% of the Earth's surface, but constitute about 98% of the Earth's water, so less than two percent of the world's water is actually 'fresh' (ie- drinkable), and with three quarters of this locked up in the ice caps and majority of what's left being underground, only a very tiny fraction of the world's water makes up rivers, lakes, and ponds.

I, for one, am learning the water cycle in university, for General Studies. It's pretty boring, but the gallons of fresh water is impossible to find out!

I know that less than 3% of Earth's water is fresh, and that Canada has 9% of that fresh water. Salinity in the ocean is 3.5%, and and Estuary is where a river flows into the ocean.

there is no scientific way to answer this question, but it must be an infinite number.

That is wrong there is a finite number of gallons of water but I do not know what that is.
