Most people will tell you that Jesus did not need to be baptised. If He did not need to be baptised then His baptism was nothing more than a symbolic gesture. Would Jesus debase Baptism in this way? Obviously not! According to Jesus' discussion with Nicodemus baptism is our actual spitiual birth allowing us to enter the Kingdom of heaven. It should also be noted that Jesus was human (the Son of Man) as well as divine and He was baptised by John "for thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness...... And when Jesus was baptised, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.'" (Matthew Ch 3) thus confirming His entry into the Kingdom of Heaven and His sonship of God who is King of Kings and therefore eligible to rule over the Kingdom of Heaven by birth even as the "Son of Man". Because the Jordan is the main Israel river and it was a holy river for ancient Jews

Yokanan's baptism rites is actually based on the Jewish mikveh. It is a purification ritual that is described in the Torah. It requires "living waters". Jews do not immersed themselves in waters that are contaminated by chemicals so that no living thing can exist in it. Preferably kosher creatures or animals.
As the river Jordan is a famous river and there are not many rivers in that desert area.

Though Jesus insisted upon the physical baptism (Matthew 3:13-15), there is no reason to believe that John as forerunner and baptized by God needed to receive a physical baptism.
