"The desert was tamed but the price was calamitous, the worst climatic disaster in the history of the Soviet Union."

Can someone explain what tamed means in the sentence?

This sentence has to do with the Aral Sea.
Answered by Reed
Desert was "tamed" by diverting water to turn it into agricultural land, with disastrous consequences to the Aral Sea. Google the Aral Sea.
