Would Water Surface Reflect IR?

Evening all,

I bought a Maxbotix Ultrasonic device which is very good, but when I
bought it I didn't read the tech sheet in detail. The beam has a spread
of 36degrees which means in my water tank I can only get a depth
reading down to about 28" when the Ultrasound then hits the tank sides
and I just get the distance of the side.

Therefore, I have found a Sharp IR sensor that goes to 60" but I can't
remember whether IR would be reflected by the water surface?

Paul
