As far as I know you don't need rivers/brooks, nor does it need to be aboveground, nor does it need to be made out of constructed walls. I've done a similar trick with murky pools on riverless maps in which I've drained the pool into a channel with a waterwheel (with a run-off/evap area for excess), and had it spin the waterwheel just fine. I think it has to do with the water getting locked into its flowing state when it fills an area to equilibrium (no sloshes) in a certain way.
