Also having the same issue, was not a problem last time it was around for me either.
This flickering is caused by 3d models being displayed via ui elements. If you use unit frames with 3d models, have your character sheet open, or are inspecting someone, the water in certain older areas can flicker. Lowering water detail to fair or low is the easy fix.

Nope, this is not it. I’m not using any addons that display 3D models. It’s the game, it’s affecting everyone.

I literally listed at least 2 other ways to do this without any addon. The simplest way to verify this as the issue is to hide your ui via alt+z.
I’ve done some fairly extensive testing and this is definitely not addon related. I’m also not inspecting anyone, and I haven’t had my character sheet open. I’m not using any unit frame addons or anything that draws 3D elements to the HUD. This is something in the Blizzard UI itself that’s broken.
Just set your liquid detail to low
Low liquid detail makes the game look like poo. I don’t run high end hardware to run low settings.
IDK what to tell you other than set it to fair/low or deal with flickering. The alternatives are disabling either async resource creation or multithreaded rendering which comes with a sizeable fps hit.
