Sqirlz Water Reflections is a Windows grahpics program that allows you to add water effects to existing images or .avi videos. From the makers site:
"Sqirlz Water Reflections is a way of adding rippling pools of water, and rain or snow effects, to images or existing AVI videos. The pools can be animated to give lifelike rippling reflections of the scene above them, and can be of any shape. Choose from a variety of ripple shapes, and control details such as wave size, perspective, water transparency and flow direction. The raindrops and snow flakes can be adjusted in many ways, including size, speed, direction, transparency and scene depth effects. Animations can be saved as Macromedia Flash (SWF) files, animated GIF files, AVI video clips, and sets of bitmap, JPEG, PNG and TIFF files."
Here are a couple animated .gif's I made when I still had a Windows box, the B&W image didn't have water in it to begin with. You can see other examples linked to from the authors site. Images of water scenes, like lakes, can be most impressive and lifelike:
I contacted the author to see if it was possible for him to make a Linux version but he stated he hadn't updated the program in a couple years and didn't see it happening. I'd try porting it myself but don't think I have the skills to do it. It's not a priority or a have-to thing, but would be a nice addition to our ports collection IMO if it's not too much trouble.
Here are a couple links to download the 2.2MB .exe in a .zip file:
Cnet
Softpedia
