When sunlight hits the surface of water, it gets reflected and refracted due to the ripples and waves on the surface. This causes light to scatter in various directions, creating a shimmering effect. Additionally, the movement of water causes the reflection of the sunlight to constantly change, adding to the shimmering appearance.
