A major humanitarian operation is under way in central and western England to help those affected by the country's floods.
Fire services are helping to bring aid to people still trapped in their homes.
Tewkesbury in Gloucester is one of the worst affected areas.
The medieval town been cut off from water and many houses are without power and drinking water.
Some 150,000 homes in the Gloucester area are without water after a treatment plant flooded and it is expected that the water shortages will last for the next 72 hours.
Around 600 water tanks have been drafted in to help alleviate the shortage.
There are still at least nine serious flood warnings in place, with the Rivers Severn and Thames at risk of bursting their banks.
Emergency crews have also been trying to stop an electricity sub-station, which feeds 500,000 homes in Gloucestershire, from shutting down.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown today visited Gloucester to see how the emergency response is being co-ordinated.
Mr Brown announced that he will carry out a review into the floods which have devastated parts of England.
He also promised that his government will provide funding to help local councils with flood relief works.
Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the Association of British Insurers said the cost of the summer floods could top £2bn.
Labour MP for Worcester Mike Foster where parts of the county are under 6ft of water and up to 4,000 people are without water, said it is vital that the insurance companies act quickly.
The flooding is thought to be the worst in Britain in 60 years.
