Civilisation needs a surplus of food as a precursor. Arable land and plentiful water gives a surplus.
Early civilizations developed agriculture to produce food for their families. This involved cultivating crops such as wheat, barley, and rice, as well as domesticating animals for meat, milk, and labor. They also developed techniques for irrigation to ensure a steady supply of water for their crops.
In a pocket of fertile land, with a river for fresh water supply, and access to the sea for fishing.
In order for early civilizations to develope they needed a good source of water. With water they could irrigate their crops and improve travel. If they did not have a solid source of water to develop farming early civilizations like the Egyptians(Nile River), Mesopotamians (Tigrus and Euphrates Rivers), or Indus river civilizations would not have survived.
Ease of traveling and shipping along with a supply of running water.
Civilisation is based on a surplus of food, which is generated by growing a plentitude of crops. Crops need water, and so do humans and animals they domesticate.
The river valleys favored the rise of early civilizations because the rivers provided a continuous supply of water for farming and human consumption.
Civilizations develop and grow in river areas for several reasons. A river will supply drinking water, good agricultural possibilities, trade as well as people can be transported by water, and hunting and fishing is good.

Civilisation rested on a surplus supply of food, which enabled diversion from gaining daily subsistence to civilised activities. To get this surplus it needed arable well watered land.
