Idriess suggests a scheme for developing the Outback, emphasising managing and harvesting water resources.

We must lift or divert the flood waters from the eastern Queensland coast and drop them back over the ranges into the headwater channel of the inland rivers - Cooper, Diamantina and Georgina and as the plans develop and later the Bulloo, Paroo and Warrego. The dreams of today are the facts of tomorrow. And if even a portion of the Plan outlined here were organised for execution immediately after the war, we would not need to fear Depression.
