Not a war crime. The British did it in WW 2, as did the US, among others. The Germans planned to do it to Russia but never got the chance. The US did it in Korea too. It was proposed in the Vietnam war but not carried out. Dams are considered "strategic" targets for their capacity to produce hydroelectric power, for example.
As far as war crimes go, my opinion on that is--as harsh as this sounds, The only true war crime is losing.
Eh, I don't know. If Russia did this intentionally, which is likely - it's a real crime against humanity. And it deserves to be viewed that way now, and by the history books.
It would be despicable on every level.
