Why not sell water from areas that have an excess of water (like NW England)
to those that have a deficit. That would be a nice little earner for some water
companies and possibly even reduce my water bills. Of course water bills
in the SE would rise, but hey that's the price you pay for living in a better
climate

The problem is that there's no national water grid, unlike the
case with electricity, and it would cost a huge amount to build one.
Privatised companies are only interested in the fast buck and to be
honest the government doesn't look too interested either. Also, it
takes a great deal of energy to shift water around, again unlike
electricity.
