Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Is it for an animation, cause if not you could just use a photo with a normal map.

I would make an environement (poss use a HDR skydome), then render with mental ray and have a look, you get decent results that way with a tweek of the shader, as at the moment your water has nothing to light it, its just sitting there
