Geothermal reservoirs refer to any heat stored, naturally, in the earth's crust;it is considered as resource coming from a natural complex depending on the geological, geophysical aspect and territories geochemistry. Although this natural resource remains distinguished by his characters to be a renewable, ecological, universal and sustainable mining energy, it stills not, yet, sufficiently exploitable worldwide (El Bouazouli et al., 2020). The same finding was brought up in Moroccan context, despite the presence of some hot resources and capitalizable scientific research to develop this potential. Prospecting for underground geothermal resources is an expensive project that deserves to mobilize scientific and technical methods in order to overcome this risky impasse. Thus, Geomatics has been used, drawing on Remote Sensing for geo-spatial exploration in order to guide prospecting through the development of geothermal deposits potential maps at very low and medium depth on Moroccan territories (El Bouazouli et al., 2019). Furthermore, we explore smart tools to support short and long-term decision-making in terms of creating of clean energy mix and complementary mining energy as well as investment in energy exploration operations. And, as an experiment, we chose for this study, areas distributed mainly in the Moroccan Sahara and the Souss Massa Region, known, probably, by a potentially high geothermal gradient, and therefore constituting geothermal energy reservoirs. As for the exploration methodology adopted, it consists in processing of the imageries: LANDSAT 8, MODIS AND ASTER, in order to extract exploitation indices such as the surface temperature, the layer of lineaments and cracks density, and evidence of hydrothermal alteration that may indicate geothermal activity. The correlation between these three factors, will lead us to conclude that the Moroccan Sahara area is considered as one of the most potential geothermal reservoir areas in Morocco. In short, the a

Benefiting from high flexibility and probability of line-of-sight, deploying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV s) as aerial access points has emerged as a promising solution for ensuring reliable wireless connectivity in crowded events. This paper introduces a UAV scheduling process adaptive to dynamic mobile network demand, including three phases. In the sensing phase, the user distribution is sensed, and user number thresholds are set to determine whether UAV assistance is needed. The planning phase presents an enhanced mean shift algorithm to find suitable locations to deploy UAVs with a dynamic bandwidth derived from the user distribution, the UAV's maximum capacity, and the UAV's maximum throughput. The deploying phase dispatches and recalls UAV s based on planning results. Comprehensive simulation experiments are conducted on OMNeT ++ using real-world data. Results show that the proposed process shows great adaptivity, with an efficiency increase of 18.7% and a fairness increase of 28.9 % compared to the existing related works on average.
