He proposed a levee system, the use of natural outlets and reservoirs, and the building of artificial outlets and reservoirs.At 17, Ellet was on his future path to success working as an assistant canal engineer. His aspirations to become an engineer lead him to teach himself French, save his money, solicit the help of Lafayette, and win admittance to the best engineering school in the world, the Ecole de Ponts et Chaussees in France.
