Answer:


\boxed{\sf 1(1)/(6)\ liters \ of \ water}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total water required water the entire ground be g

Equation:


\sf (2)/(7)\:g = (1)/(3) \ liters \ of \ water

rearranging


\sf g = (7(1))/(3(2))

simplify


\sf g = (7)/(6) \ liters \ of \ water

rewrite in mixed fraction


\bf g = 1(1)/(6)\ liters \ of \ water

The water required to water the entire ground is 1 1/6 liters.
