提出了一种对小型系统进行桌面腐蚀控制研究的方法。该方法符合EPA提供的指南，并由大型系统进行的腐蚀控制研究提供信息。通过遵循本文提出的方法，以及利用AWWA、国家机构、农村水协会和中大型系统提供的资源，小型系统应该能够确定其最佳腐蚀控制方法。

An approach for performing a desk-top corrosion control study for small systems was presented. The method complies with guidelines provided by EPA, and is informed by corrosion control studies performed by large systems. By following the approach presented in this paper, as well as employing resources available from AWWA, state agencies, rural water associations, and medium and large systems, a small system should be able to determine its optimal corrosion control method.
