The one thing I know about water and reflective stuff in general is the Fresnel effect.
Basically, the lower the viewing angle, the more reflective a surface will look. Check out the globe in the picture, and note that there's a big chunk of sky being reflected. However, you will see it only gets really bright at the edges. Nearer to the center, where the viewing angle is higher, more perpendicular, the reflection is less intense.
Anyway, I'm not too knowledgeable on this subject, but something you might find helpful is this:

It's the blog of a graphics programmer and he has a series of posts studying reflections and wet surfaces and stuff. You may find some helpful information in it.
