Why did colonists build settlements along rivers or near the sea?

Think about this. You are a settler and you are building a town. Would it be near a river or ocean? Why would you put it there? What do you need for crops, shipping, washing, and drinking? There is land not too far away but it doesn't have a river, so why would you build near a river? You know the answer. Put it down.
