Making Realistic Water

I want to know a good way to make realistic (non-cliff) water. What I've noticed that doesn't work is:

1 - Starting a map as all shallow water and then raising the terrain. This causes problems, such as trying to lower the ground below water level.

2 - Ramps suck. If they were able to go on any cliff regardless of what the cliff looked like, then maybe they'd work.

My point is, is there ANY way of effectively making realistic water?
