Coastline Maker, FS2004, no water effects on river?

Does Coastline Maker apply water effects? I've been trying to use this program to build a float pond next to the runway that I use...FS 2004 doesn't show it. I used the river draw tool and the river shows, but I land on it like its a hard surface. Also, the underlying land seems to "show through" the river I added. Am I maybe using the wrong program to do this? Thanks
