In 1876 he was a leader in the agitation for the depression of railroad crossings of the belt-line of Paris, and from 1881 until 1903 was in charge of the Department of Irrigation and Drainage under the minister of agriculture, undertaking various missions for the purpose of studying systems of irrigation in southern Algeria and in California.
