If you irrigate from say a river to the middle of a desert and one of your irrigation tiles at the river gets raised/changed do all of the irrigation tiles go away (assuming you don't have electricity)?
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.

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.
