How much water does Kepler the planet have?

There is no single planet named Kepler; rather Kepler is a
prefix added to the designations of planets discovered by the
Kepler telescope. Several planets discovered by Kepler, including
Kepler-438b, Kepler-442b, Kepler 440b, and Kepler 296f, orbit in
the habitable zones of their stars, which means they might have
liquid water on their surfaces. Currently we do not have the
technology to determine if they actually have liquid water.
