Just for giggles I threw a half full water bottle onto the dashboard of my car to see what would happen. As it rolled to a stop I focused on the bottle and the area right below it. Since water sloshes, the sunlight that passed through it looked like the reflection of the ocean. This is an example of water redirecting light by refraction.
This effect can be recreated on stage with sloshing water in front of a light, or maybe crinkled aluminum moving gently. This type of effect is very unique to water and should be recognized by almost any person.
