Detailed explanation-1: -Farming began a process of intensification, which meant that many more people could be sustained in a given land area since more calories could be produced per acre. As a result, the world population rapidly rose.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first civilizations appeared in locations where the geography was favorable to intensive agriculture. Governments and states emerged as rulers gained control over larger areas and more resources, often using writing and religion to maintain social hierarchies and consolidate power over larger areas and populations.

Rivers provide civilizations with a supply of fresh and clean water, which they can use for crops, animals, and themselves.
