This article is about one of the most important aspects of life of any nation - adaptation to natural conditions. As a rule, the ancestors of the Karakalpaks always preferred to settle in delta zones and river mouths.

All this was reflected not only in their memory, but also in folk ornamentation depicting the element of water.

It also describes how natural features, flora and fauna conditions influenced the economy of this people and how traditional settlements of auls were formed and by what principle traditional dwellings were built.
