There are many reasons why big cities are located along the banks of a river:

  • Rivers provide good shipping routes and transportation of both goods and passengers.
  • Products can be shipped up and down rivers, instead of clogging roadways with trucks.
  • The land near rivers is very fertile.
  • Rivers provide water & food.
