First claim

1 - 19 . (canceled)

20 . A system for the distribution of resources comprising:
a housing comprising:
a water source:
at least one water distillation device receiving source water from the water source and producing water for distribution, the system comprising:
a first conductivity sensor measuring a first conductance of the water for distribution;
a divert fluid line fluidly connected to the first conductivity sensor; and
a product line fluidly connected to the first conductivity sensor;

a second conductivity sensor measuring a second conductance of the water for distribution received from the product line;
a first product reservoir fluidly connected to the second conductivity sensor; and a water dispenser; and
wherein water for distribution enters the product line when the first conductance is below a first predetermined value and water for distribution enters the first product reservoir when the second conductance is below a second predetermined value.

21 . The system for the distribution of resources of claim 20 wherein water for distribution enters the divert line when the first conductance is at or above a first predetermined value and water for distribution enters the first product reservoir when the second conductance is below a second predetermined value.

22 . The system for the distribution of resources of claim 20 wherein water for distribution does not enter the water storage device when the second conductance is below a second predetermined value.

23 . The system for the distribution of resources of claim 21 wherein the first predetermined value is 20 microsiemens per centimeter.

24 . The system for the distribution of resources of claim 22 wherein the second predetermined value is 20 microsiemens per centimeter.

25 . The system for the distribution of resources of claim 20 wherein the housing further comprises:
at least one power generation source connected to the housing;
a power control and distribution system; and

wherein power from the at least one power generation source powers the at least one water distillation device.

26 . The system for the distribution of resources of claim 20 wherein the first product reservoir comprising a water liquid level sensor.

26 . The system for the distribution of resources of claim 20 wherein the first product reservoir comprising a water line connected to a check valve.

27 . The system for the distribution of resources of claim 20 further comprising a source reservoir fluidly connected to the water source and the water distillation device, the source reservoir comprising at least two liquid level sensors.

28 . The system for the distribution of resources of claim 25 , wherein the at least one power generation source is a Stirling generator.

29 . A method for the distribution of water comprising:
providing a water source, a water distillation device comprising a first conductivity sensor, a divert water line, a second conductivity sensor receiving water from the water distillation device, and a water storage device receiving water from the second conductivity sensor receiving source water from the water source; distilling the source water to produce water for distribution; measuring a first conductance of the water for distribution with a first conductivity sensor; allowing the water to reach the second conductivity sensor when the first conductance is below a first predetermined value; measuring a second conductance of the water for distribution with the second conductivity sensor; and allowing the water to flow to the water storage device when the second conductance is below a second predetermined value.

30 . The method for the distribution of water of claim 29 further comprising diverting the water for distribution when the first conductance is at or above a first predetermined value.

31 . The method for the distribution of water of claim 29 further comprising blocking the water from reaching the water storage device when the second conductance is at or above a second predetermined value.

32 . The method for the distribution of water of claim 29 further comprising blocking the water from reaching the water storage device when the second conductance is at or above a second predetermined value.

33 . The method for the distribution of water of claim 29 wherein the first predetermined value is 20 microsiemens per centimeter.

34 . The method for the distribution of water of claim 29 wherein the second predetermined value is 20 microsiemens per centimeter.

35 . The method for the distribution of water of claim 29 , wherein is further provided:
a power generation source; and a power control and distribution system;
and the method further comprises
powering the water distillation device with the power generation source.

36 . The method for the distribution of water of claim 35 , wherein the power generation source is a Stirling generator.
