Claim 0:
1. A demand-based water distribution and management system comprising:
one or more processors;
a memory in communication with the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the system to:
determine a first price for each water distributor of a plurality of water distributors based on a plurality of demand factors;
transmit a plurality of water distributor locations, each associated with a respective water distributor, to a first customer device of a plurality of customer devices;
receive a first selection of a first water distributor location from the first customer device, the first water distributor location associated with a first water distributor of the plurality of water distributors and a first water-distribution device of a plurality of water-distribution devices;
responsive to receiving the first selection, generate an authentication code associated with the first customer device and the first water distributor;
transmit, to the first customer device, instructions comprising directions to the first water distributor location;
verify a presence of the first customer device in a predetermined local region proximate the first water-distribution device by tracking, using the one or more processors, a GPS location associated with the first customer device;
authenticate the first customer device based at least in part on the authentication code; and
responsive to the presence of the first customer device being verified and the first customer device being authenticated, automatically transmit a signal to the first water-distribution device to transition from a locked state to an unlocked state, wherein the unlocked state allows a first customer associated with the first customer device access to water via the first water-distribution device and triggers a first purchase at the first price.
