Any model train store should also carry it. That is where I get mine most of the time.

You can also leave it clear (which is its natural state) and simply paint the base- it will show through the 'realistic water.' It's not very difficult to use, but I'd suggest googling 'realistic water' and finding a few articles on the product. It runs around $18.00 at your local hobby store. I know that HOBBY LOBBY specifically carries it, as does ebay. It looks like this.
