A mirage
Light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky.
Since water reflects a mirror image of the sky or the land around it, light bent while passing through a layer of hot air to produce a displaced image is easily interpreted by a person as a body of water in the distance - especially if they are thirsty and hoping to find water and thus somewhat inclined to see what they want to see.
