You need to select/change both the lower and upper surface textures to a water texture.
then set the surface Geo mode "4" (a normal adjoin doesn`t show the texture this makes it show)
Finally you might want to give the surfaces the translucent flag.

When I do it, the surface of the water is invisible,

No the light object itself is not saved in a jkl. The information from it is.

Anyway, if you want your level completey bright just remove the lights.
Otherwise increase the range of your lights and boost the brightness or add more lights for big sectors. Then recalulate the lights. (you should have a light in all sectors in that case).
