Human activities significantly impact the condition of rivers through pollution, habitat destruction, and water extraction. Industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, and plastic waste contaminate water, harming aquatic ecosystems. Deforestation and urbanization can lead to erosion and altered water flow, further degrading river habitats. Additionally, over-extraction of water for agriculture and industry reduces river flow, affecting biodiversity and the health of surrounding environments.
In industrial nations, some rivers are in poor condition. In less inhabited parts of the world, most rivers are in good condition.
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.

we can not so suck it
Early humans used rivers for water to drink, cook, bathe, and irrigate crops; to fish; to swim; to travel; etc.
Humans get fresh water from lakes, rivers, streams, underground aquifers, and more.
They build dams in rivers because they can get electricity from the energy of water without pollution and it is safe.
We basically load them to death.

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.
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.
