Single-layer water shading doesn’t use shadowmap anyways, so it shouldn’t have a big impact on performance

Also, In case if anyone is trying to adjust water height during runtime via blueprint/C++, I figured out a way. See: [[Water plugin - Movable water bodies? - #4 by cys10107](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/water-plugin-movable-water-bodies/157949/4)]
