Debe ser "reflect", pero puede ser el otro.

The image of the building is reflected in the pool of water.

The pool of water reflects the light into my eyes.

Refract es dividir la luz, y también puede ser en agua.

The pool of water refracts the sunlight and forms a rainbow on the wall.

Si el agua es como un espejo y los imagenes ha reflejado en el agua tiennes que usar 'reflect'. Normalmente, usamos en inglés 'refract' cuando hablamos cosas científica y tambien acerca de un arco iris o las prismas.

The multi-colored trees reflect in the pool by the river.

Sorry about the Spanish mistakes.
