    Two random guesses:

    1. The UK has been inhabited for longer and thus many more of its aquifers may have been tapped.
    2. Despite being fairly arid, Australia is just massive comparatively. In combination with number 1, it may have huge aquifers under uninhabited arid regions that are close to full.
