For the exact same reason The Villages is not allow to move water between counties. Water is the basis of life and maintaining that balance as much as possible, sustains life as we know it.

Oceans cover 70% of the earth. The is not, nor has there ever been, a shortage of available water. There's a shortage of will to operate desalination plants.
