We also need to think about water transfers between water companies, which already occur from the great Kielder dam—44 billion gallons of it. It was built for steelworks that then closed, which is why it is so big. There is a huge volume of water there, which, if it was transferred down by pushing from region to region, could supply different areas of the country. That is possible already. How feasible it would be on a national scale is for the Government to resolve, but in my view it should be done.
