Reply to comment by Dixiehusker in TIL that it is a common misconception that the reflection of the sky is the sole reason bodies of water appear blue. It is primarily because water absorbs colours in the red part of the light spectrum. by monkey-tennis
Well, to be fair, some people still think the earth is flat, so this blue water thing is small potatoes.

What if the water is blue BECAUSE the earth is flat? Think about it. Blue is on the shorter end of the wave length, the red light goes a lot further and falls off the edge of the earth, leaving only blue light left for the oceans
