It would depend on the temperature of the water, or average kinetic energy. (KE) However, what you may be looking for is how much heat is needed to raise the KE, or temperature, of water. 4.184 kilojoules per gram is the heat required to raise the temperature of water 1 degree Celsius.
There are three things which determine the amount of heat in something. First, there is the mass (weight) of the something. The amount of heat will be linearly proportional to mass. Thus, twice as much mass means twice as much heat. Second, there is the specific heat of the something. The specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise one unit of mass by one degree Celsius. It differs for each material. In kilo Joules per kilogram for each degree Celsius or Kelvin, metals range from about 0.1 to about 1.9 and water is about 4.2. Thus water has a very high heat capacity. Energy involved in phase change, such as water to steam, or iron to molten iron, is not included here. Third is the temperature change. Raising a kilogram of water from 20 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius would store about 4.2 x 30 = 126 kilo Joules.
A calorie of energy (NOT to be confused with a Calorie, they are different so watch the caps) is the amount necessary to heat 1 gram of water 1oC, so 30 calories are needed to heat 30 g of water 1 degree. To heat it 70oC would take 2100 calories (or 2.1 Calories) of energy.

The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one degree Celsius (°C). The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C).
350 degree Fahrenheit of temperature.
