Turning the tide

摘要

A national distribution system was mooted in the 1970s but scrapped due to cost. How short-sighted; oil, gas and petrol are pipeline-shipped over long distances, so why not water from the 'wet' areas of the country to the 'dry'?London and the South East will always be short of water due to geography and climate so bring it in from areas that have excess, like the Lake District and Scotland.
