[QUOTE="ZombieHunter, post: 2206163, member: 5791"] YOU Technically don't, unless you are super adept at what is called Variances, and Conveyances. Legal speak for reading Titles and Deeds of all types, as well as delineating any wills or other probates. Also you would be hard pressed to have YOUR research stand up in court if you figured you did own the water rights and just went ahead and started catching rainwater or drilling a well. I carry error and omission liability insurance through an LLC. for this purpose, costs $5k a year. Hire a landman, or a title attorney if you want the same work and 2x the bill. All in all it is about 5 days of research on average at 8 hours a day to determine water rights ownership or not, I am $200 a day....Title attorneys won't leave their office for less than $300 a day. I can save you the trouble, do you have a well now? Chances are you have water rights, at least partially for well rights. If you own full rights that gives you the right to catch rainwater ANYWHERE on your land and divert it how you see fit. If you live in say the city somewhere, chances are your local municipality owns the water rights, so if you catch the rainwater, you will be stealing from a city entity, look up previous cases along the same lines.
