On top of that, what is the criteria for your definition? It doesn't even make any sense.
A: The original American and African colonies had natives using the water supplies already, there's part one of the definition gone.
B: Apparantly, no non-farming urban area can be a colony. Land must be fit to be farmed; that means no urbanization!
C: Ah yes, economically recoverable minerals. No colonies for the following reasons: slaves, religion, penal (unless mining is included), farming, or even so people have somewhere to live. No mines, no colonies, forget what you heard.
Finally, as for no resources, renewable resources exist, and it is very likely that sustainable renewable resources will exist. Water and air can be cleaned, plants grow in tubes, and physical space has a value (if you disagree, please get me a free apartment). As far as cleaning, we can do that with electricity. We can make electricity with light. Light exists in space. As for food, well, check the ultimate source of near any terrestrial food chain.
As for sustaining mankind in case the Earth is wiped out, I'll admit that ones on the silly side. I'll be eating those words once the Earth is wiped out, however.

A colony is a human expansion into unused resources of water, plant and animal life, arable land, and ECONOMICALLY recoverable minerals.
