Bryce worked in irrigated agriculture for 15 years, as an irrigation foreman, tenant farmer, farm owner, and seed company field representative. He began working in water resources in 1996, with Idaho Department of Water Resources. He did flow measurements, field examinations of beneficial use, GIS mapping of water-right places of use and points of diversion, and prepared water-right recommendations for the Snake River Basin Adjudication. In 2001 he left IDWR for the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute (within University of Idaho) where he worked on water budgets for aquifer modeling, groundwater/surface-water interaction, and some water economics work. In 2010 he began a transition to the private sector, working part-time for the University and part-time for Rocky Mountain Environmental Associates. He is back full time at Rocky Mountain after almost three years of limited involvement while working with the great folks at the Henry's Fork Foundation and Friends of the Teton River. Bryce has an associate degree in farm crops management, a B.S. in agricultural economics, and an M.S. in hydrology. He is published in the Journal of the American Water Resources Association, in Irrigation and Drainage and as a junior author in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics.
