Rivers throughout history have been the source and support for civilization, and many major cities today are near a river of some sort.

Rivers begin at their source in higher ground, either rising from a spring, forming from glacial meltwater, flowing from a body of water such as a lake, or simply from damp, boggy places where the soil is waterlogged.
