A comment on Civilization Is Older Than We Thought. Parent comment
(but for actual drinking water, smaller springs are preferrerd and can be found almost everywhere, except the dessert, too)
So you have drinking water - and can do extensive fishing, in the river as well in the sea - and in the very fish rich area in between.
Also with a river you can more easily connect inland.
