How Reverse Osmosis Desalination Works
by Anera
Reverse osmosis is a water treatment process that removes contaminants from water by using pressure to force water molecules through a semipermeable membrane. During this process, the contaminants are filtered out and flushed away, leaving clean drinking water.
Anera has installed 25 – and counting! – reverse osmosis systems across Gaza. The water that goes into the systems is dirty and salty. But the water that comes out is clean and drinkable.
