  In the Update 6 Experimental, water along one side of the river has shadows of the square.

  Outlines of blocks are showing under water in new experimental branch, only seems to be happening when its against either terrain or levees, not against floodgates, dams, or anything else underwater, and only on one side of the block.

  Weird lines appear when you look at the water just right when there is an adjacent terrain tile. I can't seem to see this in 100% contamination water, but as long as it is under 100%, you can see these.

  On my PC the new water looks... square, it's level appears to constantly fluctuate; and when I look under the map it appears to be ¿falling?
  
  Seems to only be a visual bug, 'cause the water gauges act normal.

  water is being rendered as flashing grid without water surface, running on medium graphics, no waterflow visible. Irrigation works normally.

  This lattice flashes in sync with the time passing. Can't see any moving water. I do have an older computer, gforce 650 ti. Updated drivers today still doesn't work. I understand I might just be aging out of games. Thanks.

  The latest update should address it, please check and respond if it's solved or not

  Didn't help much.
  
  Now water is only visible near terrain/floodgates.
  
  And it's still falling.
  
  (gpu is geforce 920m btw)

  The new update makes it so the grid stops flashing but still no water is visible.

  Most of the artifacting was resolved for me, still occuring when viewing waterfalls from the direction where it is higher.
  GPU is AMD RX 6500 XT, a notable issue with my system is the GPU supports PCIE Gen 5.0, and my motherboard only supports up to PCIE Gen 4.0.

  I was getting the grid issue and the update definitely changed something, but the water now is simply not there with the edges of the terrain pulsating with water every second
  
  My PC uses Intel HD 4000 so it might be aging out of games even harder than anyone else but hopefully it's fixable.

  As per above, game has been updated to the latest patch and the water rendering issue still persists. And on other parts of the map there is no visible water features and on other parts there is some water, however also not rendering correct.

  After the update no water visible where it should be but we can see it where it should be not, it is at level 1 terrain surface, also on the areas occupied by the badwater.

  Noticed the water comes out of the bottom of the dam block now on the helix map, even when the water is to the top

  With the experimental version of update 6, here's exactly how water is represented.
  Regardless of the graphics settings used.

  After the last 2 patches, the water is a bit different, but still not good. It just got an extra darkblue color to it.

  There has been lots of invisible water for me. I have two machines. A desktop with a RTX 3080 and a laptop with an RTX 2070. The laptop didn't have the problem the first time I loaded the game but it did the second. The desktop had the issue each time I loaded the game. My settings were on ultra. I didn't try other graphics settings.
  
  After today's update, the desktop shows the water correctly. I haven't had the opportunity to test the laptop.
