Yeah you'd know how to do it if you'd looked through all the tutorials provided with the SDK.

So that gives you one solution, the built in water scene node that irrlicht provides, though it can be a bit of a performance sapper i've found. Another option could be Elvman's Realistic Water Scene Node which already has shaders provided to give reflection, refraction and bump mapping so you don't have to write/apply those yourself, which you'd have to do with irrlicht's water scene node.
