Research direction

Start by opening the water setting and increasing Blur Multiplier as described in the reproduction steps, then compare the result with the provided clip and the linked Canny comments. Done means the water no longer intensifies the sun reflection or colour when Blur Multiplier is increased, including when the sun is on the opposite side of the region.
