Hi Snowey <br /> Your idea sounds like it would work, but you might want to try it out on some scrap pieces first. I would think you'll need to use styrene that's thick enough not to sag. Another suggestion is to use plexiglass. It's cheaper than styrene and would be easy to use in one piece. I read an artical in M.R. where plexi glass was used as water surface and clear silcone sealer was used for waves. Also the river bottom was deep and detailed and the facia was cut away along the river bottom and replaced with lightly green tinted plexiglass so the facia didn't look like a dam and you could see the details.
