In addition to all the comments already made you need to adequately consider the non-technical requirements. Do you have a community champion who will see this project through and then champion the operation and maintenance once the project is in place? In my experience finding technical solution to the capital works is usually doable. However what is often not given adequate consideration is how ongoing management, and operation and maintenance of the scheme is to be achieved. Having a committed community champion and listening to their inputs will help significantly to achieve long term sustainability of the project.

As suggested here, long term sustainability is key, while many such projects fail because management is not supported beyond the short term. Donors and implementers are often expected to have a self supporting business within a finite period of say two years or five years. In addition to technical considerations, establishing a firm, ongoing business footing is needed.
