easy acces for water
The river valleys favored the rise of early civilizations because the rivers provided a continuous supply of water for farming and human consumption.
It provided that essential for the development of a civilisation - a surplus of food in order to rise above mere subsistence.
The Neolithic Revolution led to the development of agriculture, which allowed for a more stable food supply. This surplus of food enabled populations to grow and settle in one place, leading to the formation of early river valley civilizations along rivers such as the Tigris and Euphrates in Mesopotamia, the Nile in Egypt, the Indus in India, and the Yellow River in China. These civilizations relied on the fertile land provided by the rivers for agriculture and trade, ultimately contributing to their rise and prosperity.
agriculture
Early farming groups made permanent settlements in areas with fertile soil and access to water sources such as rivers or lakes. Examples of such areas include the Nile Valley in Egypt, the Tigris and Euphrates River valleys in Mesopotamia, the Indus River Valley in South Asia, and the Yellow River Valley in China. These settlements eventually developed into cities and led to the rise of complex societies.
Crops were easy to grow, fish were plentiful, and transportation was easy

The development of agriculture is the primary driver in the development of ancient civilizations. In a hunter-gatherer society, essentially all labor is dedicated to finding food. With the development of agriculture, food supplies become consistent, and the number of people that farmers can feed is greater than the number of people needed to run the farms. Because of that, people begin to specialize in other jobs, and from there civilization emerges.
