\$\begingroup\$ you probably need a particle system for what you want to achieve and this means working on the CPU and with a physics library. \$\endgroup\$– user827992Commented Sep 17, 2012 at 6:22

As user827992 said you'll probably need to create a particle system. This does not mean you need a physics library in any way, however.
Spawn sparkles over the water of random size and placement between whatever specified thresholds you desire(just tinker with it till it looks purtty). Have them fade in and back out. You'll also need to control the rate at which the particle spawn.
There might be a library out there to handle particle systems for opengl-es, but I'm not sure.
Alternatively you can make an animation that plays over the water, or animate the water itself. However this is less dynamic and may look stale.
