In addition to allowing sharing of water in Southeastern England it is long overdue that ALL water sources in England ( and indeed including Scotland and Wales ) were joined into one unified network. It often happens that the southeast is reported short of water when reservoirs in the north of England are full. It seems senseless that there is no facility ( as with electricity and gas ) whereby water can be diverted from water rich sources to those parts of the country where there is drought. Obviously this would be a large infrastructure project worthy of the victorians at their best, but it would be wholly worthwhile for the future of this Country's water supplies in a future dominated by climate change. We can all do without the latest TV or Mobile Phone but we cannot do without water.
