Would reforesting the Pennines in the UK alleviate much flooding ?

Large Trees need 50 to 100 gallons of water per day , and by respiration would tie up more water away from flooding , how much of the Pennine Mountain Chain from Sheffield , England into Scotland needs to be re-forested to make an appreciable difference to flooding ?
