The issue would need to turn ghost towns back to nature and arable farming. Not withstanding destruction northern country for new towns/cities or expansions.

You are talking about moving 2 million people and their jobs. Thus you would need housing for those 2 million. To give an idea of the size of that project, you are suggesting moving a group of people that is equivalent to a 3rd of Greater London.
Factor in the cost of either providing jobs, or benefits, and it could end up being cheaper to transport the water to the south east. A lot cheaper.
