Aqueducts: again
As you can see in this attached jpg, this city is adjacent to a river tile, yet it is building an aqueduct. What gives?
This picture better be there.

Before anyone asks, yes, this is an unmodified game. No mods and it is version 1.21f.

Rivers like that are not considered adjacent. Diagonals count on river bends, but not at the river source. I marked the tiles that would be considered adjacent to the river.

Thanks Aeson. That's good to know. Is that in the manual or the readme or did you learn that through experience?

akaoz, the left hand side tile has irrigation so it must count as connected to water. (unless there was a path of irrig that got pillaged)

A city acts as irrigated for the purposes of continuing an irrigation 'chain'. This is handy and saves a bit of time when you are trying to get irrigation into the middle of the Steppes.
... Or, it was irrigated 'up' from below.

If want to be able to tell if a specific tile is next to a river, right-click and look at the terrain. If there is an extra trade, then it is next to the river.

you would have to build the city first!
maybe a small marker on the terrain tiles ( abit like the
xtra production sign) would be nice

No, just right-click while in normal map view to read the terrain.

This terrain square has one gold, so it is next to the river.

That was originally irrigated from below in the ancient age.
