water canopy
For something to stay in orbit it must travel a great circle(ellipse). A water shell is not possible. Everything that stays up has to orbit about the center of mass of the earth. Halo orbits don't work. Think of wrapping string around a ball and you get the idea. The orbiting envelope of water would be colliding into itself, slowing and falling.
