Systems responsible for collecting information on the amount of water held and computing those figures were disabled due to a cyberattack, the source told Iran's IRIB state broadcaster.
The source also stated that employees exchanging data about dams lost Internet-based connection, including applications such as WhatsApp, Iran International reported.
Iran's Energy Ministry made a statement through Iran's state-run IRNA news agency denying that attacks occurred.
Mehr news site also reported that Iran denied the cyberattacks, claiming the sites were taken offline to "secure information and statistics systems."
