The Environment Agency has now confirmed drought status in 10 of its 14 areas.
Environment Agency chiefs said the very dry weather has led to low river flows and reservoir levels falling within the River Severn catchment area.
The"important resource", which is used to supply water to more than six million people across the region, has been actively monitored for the last 11 weeks. Cath Eales from the Environment Agency in the West Midlands, said:"The high temperatures have exacerbated pressures on our water environment and the wildlife that depend on it. These extreme weather conditions will become more likely, and potentially more severe, with climate change.
"It’s important for everyone to use water as efficiently as possible in this particularly dry period."
