What are three reasons because of which people settled near river banks and basins?
Asked by Etash Shrestha Last Modified
Answer 
It is because river valleys are the most fertile region. Water is necessary for human life. Water is also essential for agriculture and livestock. Rivers also facilitated trade, production, and distribution of goods. The river attracted people before the onset of agriculture because it can support a more significant number of people in a hunter/ gatherer culture than anywhere else.

Civilization starts near rivers for the following reasons:
- Water projects to control river water, prevent floods and provide irrigation required social cooperation and organization, which helped form civilization.
- Water is necessary and desirable for human, animal and plant life. Water is essential for agriculture and raising livestock. Game and birds are more prevalent near rivers. Fish inhabit rivers and can be harvested to support humans.
- Rivers facilitate trade, production & distribution of agricultural goods and communication.
- Rivers tie smaller communities together and tend to unify them, allowing faster and more efficient transportation of governing officials and soldiers for defence and policing.
- Rivers provide boundaries and military defences. For walled cities, no wall is initially needed on the side of the river.

- Rivers are used for bathing, recreation and religious purposes.
