I wrote already ... You can create additional object such as SkyColor, and use this object as sky reflection model (reflection in the water)... mesh of this object must have a slightly
smaller radius than SkyColor object... and this object (we call it SkyReflection) should not
be visible... then you texture this object (texture with noise, glare and so on... and
with alpha blending!!!)... and then you can even animate this texture and/or make slow
rotation of this object... may be.

May be bad idea,... because, i think, the new object will close reflection of SkyColor's object ... even if the new object is invisible and with a-blend??

or not bad??? can't test it...
