Displaced once with the vertex group and a second time everything with a “cloudy” texture to get a bit of ruggedness to the terrain as well. First version had a few too many artifacts…

…so I reduced the strength by half (did not help in the end) and smoothed a few spots.

Weight painting land and water.

Sun water reflection is a bit squared … maybe switch on smooth and or subdivisions?

Good Idea. Here is an updated image.
