Early humans used rivers for water to drink, cook, bathe, and irrigate crops; to fish; to swim; to travel; etc.
The fact that humans have always needed to have water to survive caused them to settle by rivers. The rivers provided drinking water as well as food. The climate caused the early humans to settle in warm areas.

sumerians lived in "mesopatamia" or "the land between the rivers" these rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates. which is where the early hominids (early humans) first started.
Rivers were important to early settlements since they were the main means of transport, and furnished power for early industrial applications.

Early humans migrated close to rivers after the last glacial period because rivers provided a consistent source of water for drinking and agriculture, fertile soil for farming, and a variety of plants and animals for food. Additionally, rivers served as natural transportation routes, facilitating trade and communication among different groups of early humans.
humans pollute rivers!
Meandering rivers provide habitats for wildlife and support biodiversity, contributing to ecosystem services that benefit humans. Humans utilize meandering rivers for activities such as fishing, transportation, agriculture, and recreation. However, meandering rivers can also pose risks to human settlements by causing erosion, flooding, and changes in land use patterns.
Early man got their water from ground sources. Such as rivers, lakes, oceans, and creeks. However, due to the fact early humans did not have the technology and understanding of water and its microbes. A lot died from Cholera and parasites.
why did the early pioneers settle near rivers or lakes
It wasn't, really...There were rivers, streams and ponds just like today and most early settlements were puposedly near to natural sources of water. If we are talking about finding underground, hidden sources of water the answer would be that early humans had only very primitive tools to get at those sources.
