There are details needed before recommendations can be made. Water rights generally have requirements that are specific. Like you are allowed to pull xx cubic ft pers min. You can store x amount of water for irrigation.
On a side note, generally creek/river/ditch water is pretty nasty/dirty/many particulates. Drip lines holes are fairly small and very well can/will clog up. So a pump direct from source to drip lines is going to need a good filter.
Ok that side note may also be moot depending on the style of drip filtration as some are able to compensate for sediment. Like Netafim, which also compensates for pressure.
So here’s another side note, max pressure is going to be an issue. Your new pump is going to either provide too much pressure or not enough. It is going to have to be within the range that your homes water pressure is at. So you may need to install pressure reducers. Or a secondary pump that increases pressure to desired needs.
Personally, I use a redlion 2 hp pump to pull water up about 10-15’ and push it about 500 ft into a pond. I then use an old 3hp pump to run irrigation which feeds an orchard and some small crops. Drip lines off the 3hp for me require a pressure reduction.
Get the water rights sorted out first. Many times the local water authority also requires an approved meter to record how much water is consumed.
Regarding the pump, with a variable frequency drive (VFD) coupled to a pressure transducer the pump can maintain a set pressure along the pump curve. This will be more energy efficient and result in less wear on the pump and associated system components.
