AMMAN — The Water Authority of Jordan and the Jordan Water Company (Miyahuna) on Wednesday detained a man who was allegedly found to be illegally pumping water into an agricultural pool from a main water pipeline.

The 800-millimetre pipeline, which conveys water from Al Qastal station to the Amman national park station, is used to supply water to a large part of east Amman.

The detainee had dug a 20-metre tunnel under the airport service street, which is adjacent to the main airport road, in order to divert water to a nearby farm and to fill tankers to sell water.
