To create soft, flowing effect of the water while all the other elements in the scene stay sharp you need a tripod to keep the camera shutter open for one second or longer. To avoid overexposing you need to set the aperture to f-8 or larger and use an ND (neutral density) filter. I would recommend you to use ND-8. It reduces amount of light to 12.5% or in other words ND-8 absorbs three f-stops.
If you do not have an ND filter you can try to use the sunglasses to reduce
the amount of light reaching the lenses.
Conclusion:
To create soft flowing effect of the running water you should keep
the shutter open for 1-2 sec. Use ND-8 filter and close diaphragm of your camera
as much as possible.
