    'We will always have to manage it': How drought is measured in Evergreen and what it means for residents

    Evergreen Lake in Colorado relies on Bear Creek and snowpack from Mt. Blue Sky for water supply. A 2002 drought led to Bear Creek drying up, prompting water management strategies. The Evergreen Metropolitan District currently faces a Level 2 drought, restricting outdoor watering to three days per week and reducing golf course irrigation by 30%, though residents have reduced water usage compared to last year.
