Introduce the problem relating to water use for which the project has been proposed. If a feasibility proposal follows a project proposal, the feasibility report's introduction can follow the proposal's introduction fairly faithfully. If there is no preceding document, be sure to describe the nature of the problem, amount of time it has been a problem and the pitfalls, dangers or economic burdens caused by the problem. Some examples of water use projects analyzed by feasibility reports could include the installation of water filtration systems, the development of water conservation plans or even water storage and transport proposals.
Present information about the proposed project. This is to ensure that you are not misrepresenting the project in your assessment. Limit information in this general overview to the purpose and scope of the project, as well as schedule, cost and implementation procedures. For example, for a water conservation project you would need to articulate the end goal of the project (typically a total percentage of conserved water compared with a previous water consumption percentage) and the project's deadline.
Review and analyze any alternative proposals. Gauge similarity of proposals by selecting those with similarly sized budgets only.
Compare the positive attributes of each proposal in terms of time, money and realism. For example, a proposal to make students supply their own bottled water to cut down on water consumption in high school might not require much time or money on the part of a school, but such a demand would be unreasonable for many students and parents. Conversely, proposing that a district provide a bottle of water a day per student to cut down on community consumption of water might alleviate issues with students and parents, but might not be within the school's budget to do so.
Select one of the proposed solutions and offer criteria for your selection. The criteria should indicate the proposed solution's improved feasibility in terms of money, time and realism when compared with alternatives. As it relates to water use projects, an additional feature you might need to consider is the degree to which the project proposes the best conservation plan.
