Go into photoshop or equivelant and with a white airbrush on black, draw your ripples...then blur it up with gaussian and apply it to a terrain. Place it in your water with the same material as the water and presto...
There are other ways but this is the simplest and most direct.....

Make it the same material as your water whatever that may be. Drop it on top of your water plane/object and adjust it accordingly. (how far below the surface etc)
