I heard on the radio yesterday that the Medway was being used shortly
to fill an important reservoir in the SE. Not sure where but the chap
speaking said that it would fill at the rate of 1% per day. I gather
this is a reflection of the dry situation but whether it has happened
before I do not know. Any ideas?

It's Bewl Water, just outside Lamberhurst in Kent - it's 55% below
normal. See the press release at

As regards moving water around. Last year a pipeline was completed
joining Bewl to Darwell (another local reservoir) which is itself being
connected to a local pumping station that extracts water from
undergound. So, on a local level at least, some attempt is being made
to move water around.
