With nuclear power plants, dams, water control systems and other infrastructure components highly dependent on electronic systems, it might be argued that IO weapons should be restricted because of the fear of a significant, systemic event triggered by soft bombs or hacking targeted at electric systems.
For example, these methods could be used to control the water flow systems of dams or the cooling towers of nuclear power plants.
This category of weapon can render most military land and aircraft useless and, therefore, vulnerable to attack by conventional weapons and forces.

 Hydrolelectic water use in the United States in 1990
It is possible for the hydroelectric power water use to exceed average annual runoff because some water is used several times as it passes through several hydroelectric dams on a river.
Estimates of hydroelectric power water use and power generation, as with the thermoelectric power category, are based on more information and fewer extrapolations than for the other water-use categories.
Water used for hydroelectric power generation is classified as an instream use and refers to the water used in the generation of electricity at plants where the turbine generators are driven by falling water.

 Michael and Donna Strand (Clayton’s Dam) - Ruling
In accordance with the provisions of ECL 15-0507(1), the Department, in the interest of public safety, "shall investigate dams and other structures impounding waters in the state." Clayton’s Dam was inspected by an engineering firm working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in March 1981.
