Issue with water material
For some reason, when I inrease reflectivity of a water material, lakes look more reflective as expected, but rivers become faded and almost change color to white. Both lakes and rivers use the same material.

Here's how the material looks on a river and a lake at 0 reflectivity:

And here's the same river and lake at reflectivity 1

Does anyone know what might be the issue here?

Rivers can be placed in different Y positions, but lakes are flat.
And since reflection is calculated as a single plane, it will work good on lakes, but not on rivers.

So, is there any way to make reflections work on rivers that are not flat?

Isnt rivers a bunch of planes ?
Y and direction of reflection could be determined by each planes ?
