lol. I understand where some of you are coming from, saying that this doesn't make sense. But in the whole story that I'm writing, it does. Sorry for the confusion!

Understanding the context that you're coming from, I would say...1.

The 2nd is incorrect. Always.
The 3rd sounds the most (technically) correct. However depending upon what mood is set - what angle you wish to apply or follow - where you want the story to lead...
A version of the 1st might better convey what you intend to (as related to the rest of the story) For example: if it contributed to the impact of why or how the water was disappearing.... maybe the syllables/sound kept a more poetic harmony or beat w/adjacent lines...
You can also spice up the sentence with more interesting synonyms-- like "remained" for "left" but again it depends on the rest of the paragraph that contains this one sentence.

She let herself drop into the remaining water. Unless this is a poetry thing, then write whatever you want.

The first sentence is fine and is an older, slightly more formal syle in which to say this. The third sentence is more colloquial, contemporary and is also acceptable. The second sentence is a combination of the two styles and is just plain wrong.
So it would depend on the overall style of the document this sentence is a part of. If more formal or set in a bygone era, then the first sentence. If set in contemporary times, the third sentence.
