ray trace to the water and create effect on ray hit location?

There are plenty of ways I would guess, but this is the simplest I think, other possible solution is editing the water itself real time(fake or real fluid simulation(but I dont know if EE supports this...yet pfft unsure) all still use traces from what I know.

I'd say real-time fluid simulation would be quite a hit on performance?

this will be added in some future (current overlays affect only solid objects, not water surface)
but maybe you can try rendering Mesh for RM_BLEND mode (with material technique at MTECH_BLEND)

It sure is tottel, actually last time I tried a real time fluid simulation it took my quad to a crawl on all cores, real pretty though, but I am just mentioning some ways its possible to do it. ^^
