Skyrim water lod issue from Whiterun

[Lord_Volar]

Hello everyone. I've come here looking for help with a very annoying bug I've run into concerning the water lod visible from inside Whiterun. I've posted on the Nexus forums and haven't found any help as of yet, so I thought I'd try my luck here. Basically, the water that's in the streams outside Whiterun doesn't show up from inside the city unless I TCL myself behind and above Dragonsreach. Whenever I'm close to where the lod should be, there's nothing but an empty ditch. I'll leave some pictures below demonstrating what it is I'm talking about, and if anyone can help at all, it'd be greatly appreciated.

 

This image shows the problem, visible when standing on one of the towers of Whiterun's wall.

 

This image shows the way things look from far back and above the city, with the lod working correctly.

It's most probably a draw distance problem. There are tweaks over there: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/11/23/tweaking_skyrim_image_quality/3#.UwCB_oWdFEY
