The widespread adoption of coal as a primary energy source allowed factories to move away from rivers. Coal provided a more efficient and powerful means of energy compared to water power, enabling factories to be established in locations more favorable for transportation and labor rather than being constrained to riverbanks. This shift facilitated industrial growth and urbanization during the Industrial Revolution.
Anyone who has a good idea for an invention isn't going to give it away on the internet! You're going to have to look around and see what needs to be improved and invent something to improve it.

Invention of the steam engine allowed manufacturers to build their factories away from rivers.
The invention of steam engines to drive factory machinery allowed manufacturers to build factories away from running water.

Irrigation allowed farms to be further away from rivers. Irrigation is an artificial way to bring water to the land or soil.
The development of the steam engine in the 18th century allowed factories to move away from water sources for power. This innovation enabled factories to operate independently of rivers and streams, leading to greater flexibility in location. As a result, industrialization expanded into areas that were not near water, facilitating urban growth and the establishment of new manufacturing hubs.
An aqueduct. Though, I have a problem calling it a Roman invention. Aztecs also had very sophisticated aqueducts in Tenochitlan.
Early factories were primarily powered by water and steam. Waterwheels harnessed the energy of flowing rivers to drive machinery, while the invention of the steam engine in the 18th century allowed factories to be located away from water sources. This shift enabled greater flexibility in factory locations and increased production capacity. Later, the introduction of electricity further revolutionized factory power, leading to more efficient and diverse manufacturing processes.
The transistor was the invention that allowed electronics to move away from the use of vacuum tubes (also called valves).
