Flood defences at the village of Burrowbridge in Somerset on 8th February 2014. Due to high rainfall, the River Parrett has been unable to cope with the volume of water and has flooded nearby farmland leaving houses underwater. Here sand bags and ballast try to prevent The Riverside road running parallel to the Parrett from becoming submerged. A severe flood alert remains and some occupants have been told to evacuate. © Nick Cable/Alamy Live News Credit: Nick Cable/Alamy Live News
