∙ 15y agoOnce factories were dependent on steam power instead of water power they could be built away from rivers. However, coal is heavy and expensive to transport; and so it still made sense for factories to be built on or close to waterways and not too far from coalfields. Later, with the arrival of generated electricity, it became possible, for the first time, for factories to built in all sorts of places, as the generation of power no longer had to take place on site.

Why did people build most early factories along rivers?
Factories need transportation to bring in supplies needed inside the factory and to ship what is produced in the factory out to stores, the public, etc. Early factories didn't have the use of railroad and trucking transportation, so the quickest way for these early factories to bring things to the factory and ship goods out of the factory was by water. Therefore, they were built along waterways like rivers.

Who allowed manufacturers build their factories away from the rivers?
The invention of steam engines to drive factory machinery allowed manufacturers to build factories away from running water.
Why would manufacturers build their factories away from rivers?
Electricity
Which energy source allowed factories to move away from rivers for?
Coal, to make steam.
Who enabled building of factory away from rivers powered machines?
The development of steam engines was the biggest change. It provided power where ever there was something to burn. The factories could be located closer to the raw materials.Electricity allowed manufacturers to locate their plants wherever they wanted, not just near sources of power, such as rivers.

What two inventions were used in textile factories?
invention of the steam engine allowed factories to end their dependence on the waterwheel and thus, ended the need to be located next to streams or rivers.
After about 1825 factories began to be located near?
Rivers
How are you damaging rivers?
we are damaging the river because of factories and water pollution.
Where did factories locate before 1825?
Most factories in the 1800s were located in developed areas where there was a reliable source of fuel. They were often near sources of coal or on rivers to use the flowing water.
