Answer:

The great rivers of the world have influenced human history. Settlements on rivers have thrived since earliest recorded history, with most of the world's great civilizations growing up along rivers. Flowing rivers provided water to drink, fish and shellfish to eat, dispersion and removal of wastes, and transport for goods. The bountiful supply of freshwater inflowing rivers is one of the primary reasons for the rapid growth of settlement, industry, and agriculture in the United States during both colonial and modern times.

Rivers receive water from rain and melting snow, from underground springs and aquifers, and from lakes. A large river is usually fed by tributaries (smaller rivers and streams), and so increases in size as it travels from its source, or origin. Its final destination may be an ocean, a lake, or sometimes open land, where the water simply evaporates. This phenomenon usually happens only with small rivers or streams.

What are the source of water in rivers?

The source of rivers i.e. from where the river starts is called the source of the river. The source of the river is also known as the headwater.

Glaciers are the main source of rivers as their main source. Glaciers are mountains of ice that exist in a very large state. These glaciers gradually melt and become the source of water for the river. The water of the glacier slowly melts and starts flowing downwards as a river stream.

The sources of some rivers are springs located on the mountains, which spontaneously erupt from nature and become the source of river water.

The source of some rivers is large large lakes, where water continues to rise from inside the land and the same gets converted into a huge stream of rivers.
