The sugar industry faces several serious problems, including global climate change, which may cause drought. For this reason, research has been carried out in dryland sugarcane plantations to organize the potential planting period in several Sugar Factories (SF) in Tersana Baru, Karangsuwung, Sindang Laut, Jati Tujuh, and Subang. This research aims to (1) identify groundwater potential to determine the depth, distribution, and discharge of groundwater resources and (2) determine the best sugarcane planting period. Identification of groundwater potential is carried out through a geoelectric survey using Terrameter. To calculate the potential of water resources and the amount of water deficit in each phase of sugarcane growth, an analysis of the potential for the planting period was carried out using a crop simulation model by calculating the ETa/ETc ratio. Identifying groundwater potential base on aquifer conditions indicates that shallow aquifer dominates Karang Suwung SF, whereas deep aquifer dominates Tersana Baru SF and Sindang Laut SF. Non-aquifer dominates Jati Tujuh SF and Subang SF. The best planting period for Tersana Baru SF and Karang Suwung SF in November II, for Sindang Laut SF in January I-II, for Jati Tujuh SF in November I-II and for Subang SF on December III.
