Experts call for stricter water laws

Following a series of water-polluting incidents across the country, experts are calling for the creation of emergency response solutions and stricter supervision of tap water safety.

Fuyang, Zhejiang province, suspended the county's supply of tap water on Sunday after the city's tap water source, the Fuchun River, was contaminated by tetrachloroethane from a tanker truck that had overturned.

The county's tap water has returned, but the incident has fueled serious concerns about water pollution issues.
