Clipping on a primitive should be fine, so long as you get inside/outside
correct for the surface you will use for the 'interior'.  I can't recollect
putting media inside of a partial object so I couldn't say it will definitely be
okay; be sure 'hollow' is in the object.
  'interior' for the refraction ('ior') and a 'fade_distance' might be all you'd
need.  Translucence isn't available yet in MegaPOV or Official POV-Ray
(obviously), but 'fade_color' is.

Well I'm actually not that good with sPatch could I do a primitave using a
bounded or clipped by or is this against the laws of POV? And I was thinking
about using an interior and making the water transparent or translucent (haven't
decided which).
