Do I still get the river connectivity if my city doesn't...
I've got a simple mod idea but no such talent. The settler unit should be a hot chick, the scout a guy. The settlerette should not be visible on the map and not movable until her charms are revealed. The scout has to find her in order for you to erm...consumate a city.
you only need sailing if the river trade route goes outside your culture boder iirc. if the river is entirely in your culture then you don't need sailing.
You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

For Levee, however, you do seem to have to have the river directly adjacent to your city, running along one full side of the city square. Being in your cultural borders or in your fat cross does not seem to allow the Levee to be built.
At least, that's my experience.

The same applies to hydroelectric plants and Three Gorges Dam; the city must be directly on the river to build them, just running through the fat cross isn't enough.

Yeah, I learned about the Three Gorges Dam the hard way. I waited to build it in a city that had a river in the BFC, only to discover I couldn't.
And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?". t s eliot

Pretty sure touching a corner counts too, it doesn't have to be a full side. Though it does have to touch at some point. The easy way to check when founding a city if the square is "rivered" (yeah, it's a word) or not is see if has fresh water in the box at the bottom left of the screen, if it does, and there isn't a lake touching it, then it is considered "on river" and you can build rivery (yeah, it's a word too) buildings in that city. This will also get you the fresh water health bonus. I generally find sacrificing 2-3 squares for the bonus of being on river is better than founding one square from a river. Exceptions exist, of course.
I tend to found upon a hill even if the hill is a space away and there's a pretty little spot on flat land nearby. I get a rise out of being on a river sure, but losing the city is worse than any riverise is good, and no, it's not a word.

Hrm -- I'll have to double check that one; I know there are some improvements, such as water mills, that you can only build if the river is flush along a full side of a square.

This is a good thread, thanks to the helpful answers above. I think I can remember a case or two though were I thought that I would be 'rivered', when my city was touching the end of the river (where it peters out) - but I'm pretty sure I couldn't build any 'rivery' improvements. Do you know what I mean, like sometimes on a hill or between mountains where it stops and spreads out into those little streams?
For a non-forested square, checking whether it has a bonus commerce lets you know whether it's next to the river. Mouse-over will also tell you whether the square has fresh water (again indicating it's adjacent to the river), although lakes can make this inconclusive.
