Factories no longer needed to be located near a river primarily due to advancements in transportation and communication technology. The development of railroads, highways, and later on, the automobile, allowed for easier and faster transportation of goods and raw materials. Additionally, the availability of electricity as a power source reduced the dependence on water for energy, making it possible for factories to be built in locations away from rivers.
