Direct terror attacks on water infrastructure will have implications not only for water or wastewater systems but also for other interdependent systems (e.g. fire protection and other emergency services, manufacturing, and food production). At the same time, attacks on other infrastructures (e.g. power production, chemicals production, transportation, and communications) may have an impact that would impair or debilitate the operation of water and wastewater systems. Although broad system interdependencies are covered earlier in the Handbook, this article will discuss the water-specific interdependencies and what infrastructure managers can do to understand, quantify, and hence plan for the implications of infrastructure failures beyond their direct control.
