Another thing to keep in mind is that the water rights pertain not just to the creek, but also to water that flows into that creek. For example you can not set up a rain barrel and harvest the rainfall from your roof.

what resources are available to me to find out what is/is not allowed? sorry, i truly am ignorant about this

If you are serious about buying that land you need to contact someone who will know for sure. We have a lot of water laws that are unique to Colorado. If you can collect water there then you can only collect so much and you can only use it for certain things.

Also Colorado allows ownership of parts of rivers and creeks so you may very well have zero access to the creek that is next to your property.

Get a real estate agent to refer you to an attorney with water rights knowledge. If there’s a realtor working with the property listing, they should be able to point you to an expert on the issue.
