Irrigation

No, they stay until you or some one else raised/changed the tile.

I think after 1 or 2 turns.. but I'm not sure.
no, they stay there as i have used this trick many times to transfer the irrigational ability from my capital to the middle of the desert, 20 turns away, then send in more workers and re mine the tiles that onyl required the irrigation to transfer to the desert. Here is another tip. If u find urself before a set of hills quickly position 10 -20 workers on either side of the hills, and build a city for one turn, irrigate to the other side, as a city allows the irrigated fresh water through to the other side of the city. Then right click and abandon city, the use the workers already there to rebuild a road and mine on the hill. Or u can always wait till electricity, but only a moron would do that.

I've always thought that cities on hills won't let water flow through it. By the way, will your own people hate you for raising cities?
 
I'm pretty sure you don't take a rep hit when you raze cities with only your pop in it. It's not like whipping them.

And Cities automatically transfer irrigation, or chain it if you will.

As for people waiting for Electricity being morons...well, I wouldn't go that far.

Depends. You're right as far as vanilla is concerned.
In PTW or C3C, the citizens have stopped being morons and just learned how to get the water over the hill w/o electric pumps. Manpower and bucket chains, I guess.:)
