The northern districts of Karakalpakstan, particularly Chimbay and Karauzak, face severe challenges in water supply due to the combined effects of ecological degradation, climate change, inefficient infrastructure, and socio-economic pressures. As a result, these difficulties directly affect public health, agricultural productivity, and social stability. In this paper, the main causes of water scarcity in these districts are analyzed, the consequences are explored in detail, and possible solutions are discussed with reference to recent infrastructure projects and international cooperation. Importantly, concrete examples drawn from UNDP, UNFPA, and NGO initiatives illustrate how sustainable water management strategies can alleviate the crisis.
