1. The ability to transport things by the river system. For example, for power plants, it is much cheaper to use a barge to transport a load of coal than using trucks to haul it. Also the river is like a huge highway system that people don't need to maintain (road reconstruction) and goods can be shipped directly from ports a hundred miles inland out to see to the ocean where they can go around the world. 
<span>2. Source of resources, ranging from any different species of fish to aquatic plants to fertile river sediments. </span>
<span>3. Large and widespread source for irrigation of farms and orchards. </span>
<span>4. Most power plants and factories are built near rivers since they use large amounts of water to produce electricity and many consumer goods. This usually effects the quality of the resources obtained from the river, but they are both still options.</span>

Which single source of freshwater represents the largest volume of freshwater worldwide readily available to use by humans
Vsevolod [243]

The correct answer is - groundwater.

The freshwater is represented with only 3% of the total water reserves on the planet. Further more, most of the freshwater is actually frozen in the ice caps and glaciers on the poles and their close proximity, and that water accounts for around 87%. The rivers and the lakes do provide freshwater, but they only account for 1% of the total freshwater reserves, not to mention the fact that big portion of them are heavily polluted and can not be used for drinking at all.

The groundwater though, is much less polluted, is easy to extract and to use, and it accounts for around 12% of the total freshwater reserves, which makes the prime candidate for usage.
