Water Disappears

Water has to be a certain distance below the land all around it. So say you dig a small hole and fill it water, then dig the hole along in 1 direction to make a river. If the channel you're digging enters an area where the surrounding terrain is lower than required for the water to be there, the water you already have will disappear.
 
Does anyone know why the water disappears in my park when I try to make a large body of water or a river?
If you build near the water it can disappear. I haven't noticed scenery doing this, but paths and rides absolutely will make water vanish. Simply re-add the water to get it back.
 
I've tried re adding water, but the problem with that is I'd have to dig the hole deeper for the water to appear. I'm finding that I would have to dig a meter or so into the ground so that I can add water. But then after adding water, I'd have to dig deeper for the water to show. It's like the added water is now at the current ground level of where I place the water, then it'll appear after I start digging further. It's wierd right?
