I think the basic idea is to send the traceline down into the pool until it hits the bottom, then keep sending tracelines backwards from where it hit to where the original traceline was projected, each one like 5 units long, and keep checking if the endpoint is still in a liquid. When its not, you then know where abouts the water surface is and can use tracelines of 1 length to find the exact position of the liquid.
