They had plans and ideas to do this since about the late 19th Century. During the 20's, Bradfield had proposed diverting most of the large northern rivers inland to flood the centre. Most of the water would've ended up in Lake Eyre, Frome and Gairdner, but they'd have had a lot of water in them... their surface would've been at sea level at least. Probably had over 100,000sqkm of water or more. What's more, it'd be permanent water.
