What mostly allowed manufacturers to build their factories away from rivers?
Steam energy allowed factories to move away from rivers.
What is a major advantage of the steam engine over water power?
Steam engines do not need to be built next to rivers or streams.
Why were early factories built near rivers?
Because they provided water power to run the machinery and a place to dump their waste
