ELI5: does saving water in a wet country help dry countries?

In wet countries (like the UK), does it actually help countries in drought if I save water? The only way I can think is if we sent our excess water to them somehow, but surely this would be single use before it ends up back in the water cycle. What's the environmental benefit of saving water in wet places?

The primary driver for saving water in the UK is during the summer when reservoirs can run low. The rest of the year, it's more of a general desire to save resources e.g. clean water requires energy to produce. so using less water saves energy.
