Abstract
The Moroccan underground contain geothermal potentialities, mainly low grade energy. The maps of heat flow density and the temperatures distribution down to 3000 m depth, are drawn and area of geothermal resources are defined by the estimation of the heat in place. The more promising regions are northeastern Morocco and the sedimentary basins in the Sahara.
