Answer 1

Hi 

   You asked something that could be not simple. Honestly I never tried it but , about me, there a number of ways of reproducing the effect: 

1. By using HLSL lanaguage to design a Pixel Shader. You could use  shazzam to design the HLSL.
Shazzam has  a sample about Water may help you: install the shazzam, select the "Sample Shaders" tab, and find the "WaveWarper.fx" sample in the list.
YOU can also find a FAQ here.

2. By using XNA

3. By using WPF / 3D http://stuff.seans.com/2008/08/21/simple-water-animation-in-wpf/
