Grammar

all, whole, entire and THE

Hi,
I would appreciate it if you could give me the meaning and an explanation about each of these expressions. Surely, they are not complete sentences. I only wondered which one is grammatically correct and where can I use each of them.

All water is ...
All the water is...
All of the water is...
The entire water is...
The whole water is...
Entire water is...
The whole books are...
All of the books are...
All the books are...
All books are...

Thanks.
