What a quandary. At first I thought what everone else though; Iceman freezes him. Game over.
But by the same reason Iceman can never lose on this board, can Hydroman be defeated? Bobby isn't a telepath so it's not like he can just delete Hydroman's conciousness.
It would be two nigh unkillable characters' consciousnesses floating around a bunch of ice with neither having the capabilities to harm the other where they are vulnerable.

Hydroman seems to control things in liquid form, never showed manipulation of ice. Iceman turns hydroman into a popsicle and launches him into space.
When I think about it just freezing Hydroman will not last very long as long as there near a large body of water IE lakes or ocean are in the city.Because Hydroman will just call up on tons of lake water to poor/rush over him and melt the ice,Ocean same as the lake just a lot more and with salt water(salt melts ice),In the city there are water pipes every were including HOT water pipes it will not be as easy as some may think.

Salt does NOT melt ice. Gah, ignorance is disgusting.
Rather, the salt interacts with the ice-water equilibrium, disturbing it, thus lowering the freezing point of ice to below 0 degrees.

Ice and snow melting chemistry is pretty simple. It works on a colligative property known as freezing point depression. Colligative means that the property depends only on the number of particles present, and not on chemical properties of the particles. We look for a chemical that dissolves in water easily and quickly, dissociates into ions, and is safe for application. All ice melting salts dissociate into ions as they dissolve into the melting ice and snow. This multiplies the molar quantity, and multiplies the effect of freezing point depression. Rock salt for instance, releases a ratio of one sodium ion (Na+) to one chloride ion (Cl-) for twice the effect. Calcium chloride releases one calcium ion (Ca+) for every two chloride ions for three times the effect. However, calcium and magnesium chlorides pose a greater risk than potassium and sodium chlorides because they release twice the number of damaging chloride ions. Plants vary in sensitivity to these salts. Excessive application of ice melting salts in a small area will kill vegetation. Indirect damage, resulting from a build-up of salt in the soil, is longer lasting and more difficult to remedy. The build-up can prevent existing plants from absorbing water and other required nutrients, and inhibit new plant growth. High sodium concentrations can harden soil, leaving a layer impermeable to water. (While ions such as calcium, magnesium, sulfate, ammonium, and potassium are necessary for plant vigor, excess amounts will also result in plant damage.)
