Well, I don't know how to understandibly explain my problem, but I give it a try:

I've modified Evolved's Water Terrain example, by adding a plain for the ground (imagine, you have an island, the sea and you want the player to be able to swim out to the sea, so if he looks down, he must see something beneath him).
The island and the sea is no problem, but if I add the groundplain, then the water get's brown and it doesn't look very nice.
Activating fog is also no option, because then the ground shows strange behaviour, probably because it's to large (I commented the fog commands out in the source, so you can see what I mean).

I would be very thankful if anybody knows how to fix this problem.

I download what you attached but can`t fully understand what is your problem?Can you explain better?Attach images if you can and let me see what seems wrong to you.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Here's the updated FIXED version attached

The problem:
The water is rendering what's below the surface and editing it's data that's how it gets some of it's colours. So when you have the yellow sand texture it mixes it with the blue to get a sort of brown colour.

The solution:
I loaded two images for the ground, one being the original and the second being my edited blue sand.

2nd I added some little code to switch the textures for that object depending on the height of the camera. The height may not be perfect at the moment but you can fiddle around with that.

3rd if I don't get a thank you i'll be sad
