Rivers have had both a cultural,economic and spiritual significance in the life of Man since time immemorial. For example the famous Dr David Livingstone a medical missionary whom we learnt about in school, went on a long adventure of the Rift Valley which extends all along from Egypt to East Africa, in search of the origin of the Nile. When Henry Morton Stanley met Dr Livingstone in the town of Ujiji on the shores of Lake Tanganyika he is known to have uttered those famous words " Dr Livingstone, I presume".
Many old civilisations flourished next to rivers and that is true of India as well. The first Harappan civilisations were located next to the River Indus. The Indus Valley Civilisation located itself mainly in the northwestern regions of South Asia extending from what today is northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India. Along with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia it was one of three early civilisations of the Old World and of the three, perhaps the most widespread.
