Why does a helicopter lose altitude when flying over a water surface?

When a helicopter flies close to a water surface, the air below the helicopter is disturbed by the movement of the rotor blades. This disturbance can affect the lift generated by the rotor blades, leading to a loss of altitude due to reduced lift. This phenomenon is known as "ground effect."
