Attacking a reservoir is illegal (war crime) as it is a piece of civilian infrastructure. All attacks on civilian infrastructure are crimes of war and can be punished under the Geneva Conventions.
Deliberately starving a civilian population by destroying or blocking access to food, water, and other survival necessities is a war crime.

Unless they can prove that the reservoir was being used as part of the military or military support operations,it’s off limits.
