Generally speaking a society can benefit by being near a river in several ways. This answer covers much of past & present history. Rivers are helpful because:
* they can provide a source of water for irrigation;
* they can be a vehicle of transportation, in that boats can enable a society to travel in a way other than ground transportation;
* in some cases, clean river water can be used for drinking and bathing; and
* rivers can be a source of food because in many cases various types of fresh water fish and other types of animals can be found in them.
