Under "File" click on "Export Water To Bitmap"  this will create a sub folder in your terrains root folder called "imptexpt" .

Inside this folder you will find two files, a waterc.bmp file and a waterd.bmp file.

IF your system and video card can handle the large file size 16384 x 16384 pixels  or 256megs. Open it in a graphics program
I use Photo Shop... then fill that image with all white.. index numbers 255, 255, 255  save the file.

Start the TE back up re-open your terrain, then under "File" select "Import Water Bit Map".

This will make your entire terrain all land.

I created one for you, and any one else that might need it.

Extract the file inside the zip to the directory where yours is and over write the existing one..then do the import.
