For basic reflection, to draw a texture flipped vertically you can simply scale its height by -1. Then simply redraw the texture an appropriate distance under the player.

You shoudl also add a clipping rectangle around the water's edge so the reflection only draws where the water is. For perfomance purposes, it would also be good to only do this when the player is near water.

I can't give you actual code as I don;t know anything about your code, but once you've had a go at handling reflection as abaove, come back here and ask any more specific questions taht you may have.

This question is too broad and opinion based and hence is highly likely to be voted down.
