Five rivers have been recorded as having "exceptionally low" levels, sparking concern for wildlife and the future health of these habitats.

A recent Environment Agency report found the rivers Yare, Bure, Wissey, Ely Ouse, Waveney and Wissey, which flow through parts of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, were all at 'exceptionally low' levels.

Only two waterways in East Anglia - the Heacham and Burn in west Norfolk - have normal flows following a period of prolonged dry weather.
