The first civilizations were located on the banks of rivers, including the Indus, Yellow, Nile, and Tigris and Euphrates. Rivers provided a reliable water supply for drinking and agriculture, and the fertile soil from annual flooding made the land ideal for growing crops. Rivers also made transportation easier and provided opportunities for fishing.Â
