Many settlements still use groundwater sources and this can cause a decrease in the ground water level. There is a need for alternative sources of water to meet the water needs of settlements. The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of the surplus or deficit of water in Tangerang Regency, Indonesia and also to determine the amount of water demand for the population in the region. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the planning of dual reservoirs in providing groundwater for residential areas in overcoming the problem of drought in the dry season. This research method uses Thornthwaite-Matter water balance analysis and multiple reservoir design planning. The results showed that the estimated water surplus occurred from January to April with a magnitude between 25.07 mm to 186.09 mm. The water deficit occurs from July to October with a magnitude between 127 mm to 219 mm. The pattern of water consumption in the household is used as a reference for making reservoirs to maintain the availability of air in residential areas. The dual reservoir will be equipped with sensors that can help determine the water level so that it is easy to detect water needs and can prevent water wastage.
