Why is this water/terrain clipping occurring?

Question

I'm working with the Unity terrain system to procedurally generate an island for my final college project.

I'm noticing a graphical glitch/clipping/tearing where the Unity pro water meets with the terrain.

Take a look at this screenshot: terrain water glitch

More importantly, here's a gif to show it happening in action: http://i.imgur.com/puNzTob.gifv

Can anyone give me a reason as to why this is happening?

Looks like z fighting. Try to adjust your cameras near and far clipping values. E.G make the near value larger or the far value smaller.

This was exactly my issue. My near distance was 0.01, but once I bumped it to 0.1 there was no more clipping or tearing! Thanks!
