Is there some major reason you cannot use the real
thing? It would certainly be less expensive than
trying to find something artificial, which most people
could easily tell is not real water.

For the very popular Miniature Railroad and Village
exhibit

< http://buhlplanetarium3.tripod.com/MiniRR.htm >,

at Pittsburgh's original Buhl Planetarium and
Institute of Popular Science, we used real water for
the display's river--and had boats traveling the river
[pulled by another train with a strong magnet, under
the platform!].
