It was aimed in this work, through the geospatialization, the identification of the apt, restricted and inapt regions for cultivation of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) in Rio Doce watershed. It was used for such, temperature and water deficit data of 50 meteorological stations installed in the watershed and in bordering watershed. The data of water deficit were determined using the water balance according to Thornthwaite & Mather (1955). They were identified equivalent regions the one third of the watershed, located in the central part and in the northeast of the same, as being inapt to the cultivation of coffee, according to the productivity criterions related with the thermal and hydric demands of culture.
