This paper is the proposal of an idea characterized by the sustained development such a way to minimize the absence of electrical energy in a micro-community in State of Amazon: the community itself doing its technological device scheduled for local electrical generation. For so, a project has been designed and is under implementation. The work elects social, economical and technical parameters around the ideal machine intended for such a purpose, the hydro-kinetics turbines mainly known in Amazon as "water-catchers" ("cata-águas" in Portuguese).

Keywords : Micro-geração; cata-água; desenvolvimento sustentado.
