River valleys or other areas near fresh water, especially, are nearly always the most populated parts of any continent. There are some exceptions, but river valleys, especially in mid-latitudes, supply rich lowland soils watered and producing great crops. More food means the ability to sustain more people. How many people a region can sustain is called ‘carrying capacity’. The Ganges and Yellow (Huang He) Rivers are arguably the TWO river valleys of the world than express this most strikingly.
But others like the Mississippi River in North America (and the varied eastern rivers of the continent), the Parana / Paraguay River Basin in South America, many Rivers flowing across the North European Lowland (particularly the Rhine), the Nile in northern Africa, the Niger / Benue River Valley in northwest Africa and the Kanto Plain where the world’s largest city is found - Tokyo.
In short, the world’s largest population areas are basically along or at the mouths of fertile fresh water rivers. This is a fundamental geographic pattern worldwide.
