Neil Clarke, Nottinghamshire County Council's cabinet member for transport and environment, said the situation in the county remained "very serious".
However it appeared water levels in the River Trent had now peaked, he said.
"We think it's just starting to drop slightly so the worst of the river levels are hopefully past us," he said.
"But it's still very serious. About 100 plus homes have been flooded, mainly in the Trent Valley"
He said resources were currently "very much stretched".

As you would expect, the flood situation is continuing to cause disruption to public transport across the region.
Due to flooding in the Wilford Area, trams will not be running between Nottingham Station and Southchurch Drive.
Trams starting at Phoenix Park will run to Beeston Centre instead, while the Hucknall to Toton Lane route remains unaffected.
The following NCT bus services in the city continue to divert due to flooding.
Image source, Andrew SpencerTrentBarton confirmed the number 34 bus will miss out Long Lane on the Hucknall via Bulwell route.
A diversion route means all stops on the My15 and Nottingham Skylink from Long Eaton Railway Station to Aldi Distribution Centre will be missed. Buses ending in Sawley can complete the full route.
Gunthorpe Bridge has been closed until Sunday at the earliest.A diversion between Shelford and East Bridgford is in place due to the closure of Gunthorpe Bridge, meaning all stops in Gunthorpe will be missed.
Wilford Lane is not expected to be re-opened until at least Sunday, meaning the Wilford Green stop will be missed in both directions by the Skylink Express.
A spokesperson added all other services were running the full routes, but delays were "inevitable".

An overnight rescue took place in Bleasby, Nottinghamshire,
Flood warden Peter Cast told BBC Radio Nottingham that the fire service came to get some of the village's older residents out of their homes.
He said: "There was quite a problem in that there are two lots of deep water to get to them and, during the day, anxieties were being raised by everybody, the county council in particular of course."
The fire crews then used a "complete range of equipment", including boats, to bring the residents to a less "dangerous" position.
Mr Cast added that this was close to the Waggon & Horses Pub, "where Neil our landlord looked after them until such time as they could be found some overnight accommodation".

Not everyone saw that rain last night. The low pressure just skirted around the eastern side of our region for a time and it is pulling away now.
It leaves a legacy of cloud around today and a few showers associated with that as we're headed into the afternoon.
Through this evening and overnight there will still be a lot of cloud remaining, which will keep temperatures above freezing.
However in some parts of Derbyshire there's a chance where clearer skies develop we could see temperatures fall just below freezing overnight and into the early hours.

Remarkable footage captured by the BBC News helicopter yesterday shows the scale of flooding along the River Trent in Nottinghamshire.
The county council said the soaring levels had come as a result of tributaries that feed into the river - including the River Derwent, the River Soar and the River Dove - reaching their peak earlier.

The Environment Agency has given an update on expected water levels in part of the River Trent, near Nottingham, from Thursday night into Friday morning.
An agency spokesman said: "We are expecting the Colwick gauge to reach between 5.3m (17.35ft) to 5.5m (18.04ft) overnight, which could exceed the highest-ever recorded levels which were 5.49m (18.01ft) in November 2000."
The spokesman said flood defences built since the 2000 floods were helping to protect Nottingham but some local flooding in riverside locations was still possible.
He added: "We are urging people to remain vigilant over the next few days because we are continuing to face a period of high river levels in the Midlands especially on the River Trent and its tributaries.
"There will be multiple peaks at some locations, and we will continue to monitor levels but expect to see the impacts into tomorrow (Friday)."

A resident has spoken over her efforts to fight the flooding in her house when the River Trent level rose this afternoon.
It comes as a major incident has been declared across Nottinghamshire, with numerous flood alerts across the region.
The resident, from East Bridgford, told the BBC: “Overnight we expected the river to rise, so we were monitoring the levels to check [the water] was not coming into the house.
“It has started to come into the property at six o’clock this morning. We then tried to get the water out and try to keep it outside rather than inside.
“We managed to do that for most of the day until early this afternoon when the River Trent started to beat us and win. So it’s now a couple of inches throughout the whole of the property and it has started to come up throughout the floor.”
