The purpose of the Rapid Source Inventory Technique is to provide a basic analysis of point source pollution. It is not intended to provide thoroughly accurate or highly detailed results. If the results are to be applied in a practical scenario they should be used as a starting point to further detailed analysis, or alongside additional data.
