Why don't you try asking in that thread you linked instead of asking here?

Or contact the maker on Steam? http://steamcommunity.com/id/Jimmy422

The Blue Portals team are using it too in their Portal mod and might be of help - http://www.moddb.com/mods/blue-portals

There's no dynamic water support on Source Engine. It's only some fancy stuff made using the particle engine.

Real water physics are basically just particles too, on a physical level. These are just rendered with sprites, instead of some kind of 3d polygonal rendering, where each particle is a blob and the blobs mesh together when close to eachother.

I'm sure such a thing wouldn't be "impossible" on the Source engine. Maybe not the current Source engine, but perhaps if Valve upgraded it like they did with ep 2...
