A river could be valuable resource and a problem when it it is both the source of livelihood and the source of catastrophe. Take the yangtze river for example. It serves as a source of water for irrigation and is also known to cause widespread damage when it overflows.

The Nile river in Egypt was the only source of fresh water in the entire country and made the land livable both by providing water and rich silt soil to make Egypt an agricultural giant of the ancient world . . . however when the river was too low or too high the crops would either dry up or drown and with no secondary source of water, famine would ensue. That's how.

You get drinking and irrigation water, but every so often your village gets flooded, and it's difficult to get to the other side of the river.
