Whatever the question really is, it is probably easier to measure.

Do you have any data available to work with, or is this a curiosity?

I want to make a mutagenesis with DMS but it reacts with water.The concentration must be under 1%.

Maybe someone who typically performs mutagensis on experimental organisms has a method, or a look-up table for the amount available in water over time.  I'd assume it would be made fresh, used rapidly, and destroyed before several half-lives pass, to be safe.  Maybe that have some input for you.  Although, if you don't have a defined plan of what you want to do and how you want to do it, playing with a mutagen seems very foolish.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
