I'm trying to make a waterdrop svg that shows what level the water is in a tank. I do this with a linear gradient, so I can display graphically (and easily) if the water is half or full, etc. In this example I show the tank is half full. I'd like to add a 3D affect to the water drop, and found a way to do it with a radial gradient but can't figure out a way to load both gradients at the same time to the same svg image and if that's not possible does someone have an idea how they'd do the below instead? I DO NOT want the Click here in my example it just shows the 3D appearance I'm trying to add to the half full droplet.
Is there a way I can have both gradients on the single svg image when the page loads?

Now the blue color is the same for both gradients you can use the linear gradient as a mask on the drop. The mask is made from a <rect>
and the drop <path>
itself. Is it something like that?
This brakes your click event, but I guess you can figure that out :-)
Update: I made part of the linear gradient dark gray (#444) so that the radial gradient can be seen in the "empty" part of the drop.
