English term or phrase: may be linked to potable water supplies
Доклад о возобновл. источниках энергии
In more recent developments, cooler thermal waters which can be boosted using heat pumps for district heating are being obtained from shallow geothermal wells.
...
This strategy could also minimise the danger of scaling and corrosion from geothermal fluids as the cooler fluids in shallow aquifers are more conducive to utilisation.
However, conversely these cooler shallow fluids may be linked to potable water supplies and thus create a danger of contamination and draw down of aquifers due to other uses (such as agriculture) and must be carefully monitored.

Не совсем понимаю "may be linked to potable water supplies" - могут быть направлены в системы бытового водоснабжения? или могут (случайно) перетечь... не могу понять..
плюс загрязнение чего? (danger of contamination)

Спасибо.
