Cost.

The sheer size of that project would be insane. And you would be pumping water up a lot of hills.

If cost was no issue.
The size of the pipes and number of pipes required to transport that ammount of water is impractical. Then the energy required to pump that water up the water though the hills and across that distance would take the output of mutiple nuclear reactors alone.
