How does water influence the location of industry?

At one time water transportation was overwhelmingly important for receiving raw material and fuel and shipping products to market. Most cities and industries were located on lakes or rivers or near the ocean, Shipping by boat is still important especially for heavy raw materials such as iron ore. Water is needed for many manufacturing processes and industries that need water must locate where they can get it cheaply. Water is also used for some extent for generating electric power and where it is, it often makes electricity more affordable and encourages industries that need electricity to locate there - witness the growth of industry around Niagara Falls.


What is the role of technology in industrialization and management?

technology played a pivotal role in entrenching industrialization in the sense that the technological innovations ensured efficient mass production of goods which would have otherwise been impossible before their advent in the production scene. For instance, the advent of the spinning jeeny by James Hargrieves, the water frame by Arkwright,and most importantly the spinning mule by Samuel Crompton(which was a combination of the water frame and the spinning jeeny) led to the establishment of many textile industries in England.


What technology allowed factories to move away from water sources?

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.
