standard surface water material question

[mhouse777s]

Hi,

Is this a correct set up for water depth falloff? I feel like it's close but not optimal. Any help is appreciated. Insert photo doesn't seem to be working so I attached the image.

Thanks.

You should be able to control the appearance using transmission_depth and transmission_color without having to use a falloff map. https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/A5AF3DSUG/Transmission

...so transmission_depth makes the water more opaque as the pond gets deeper? That's what I'm shooting for.
