V 2.5 Update
Some users experienced seams in lake to river transitions. That has been fixed.
Water colors adjusted
Fixed some hard water seams at water edge
Fixed mismatched colors on certain water types
Removed blue and green color options as no one seemed to use them and updating all the colors was too time consuming for people not to use them. (poll showed users preferred Slow Green 10 to 1)

ENB Settings: Set your ENB water muddiness to around 65 for best results. You won't get neon colors in foggy or rainy weather.
Install: Normally with your mod manager as per it's instructions. Manually install by copying the contents of the data folder within the zip file into the data folder of your game.
If You Use RW2 Remember, RW2 should go towards the bottom of your LO. If you're getting seams, it's not low enough. Put my water color just below RW2. If You use ENB Water Just use one of the standard, non-RW2 watercolor options
