Answer:

None

Explanation:

If 1/3 is left every hour then it would then after 3 hours wouldn't it be gone? Most would assume if only a third of the water is left every hour then after three hours there would be either of two answers if the question was written correctly: one third because they refilled it on the 2nd hour or none because it wouldn't even last two hours
