Why can you see a trees reflection in water if the water is still but not when the water is disturbed?

the difference between reflection and reflection, is nothing. they basically mean the same thing unless you are thinking of it in other terms.

When you put a straw in a glass of water, you will notice that the part of the straw in the water is out of line with the part of the straw above the water.

Why are the pools around the Taj Mahal important?
The pools around the Taj Mahal are basically reflection pools. If you see a picture of the Taj Mahal you can see the reflection of the building in the pools. Like most reflection pools the water is shallow and the water is not effected by fountain jets so that the reflection is kept still from any waves.
