How Reverse Osmosis (RO system) Works?

Now-a days we all are using/planting  RO- system to prevent our health from drinking water related deceases/infection.


Don't feel stupid if you've ever seen a news story about a terrible drought/save water its limited resource., then turned to your computer to see your pretty ocean beach screensaver and thought, "Why don't they just use that?"
Of course, within a moment, you probably made a few points to yourself. One, the sea is salty. Two, salty water isn't so great for drinking or growing plants. Three, you can't just take the salt out of water, just like you couldn't dissolve the sugar out of your tea. Or can you?

Can't quite visualize osmosis in action?
 Here's a handy illustration to help.
 

Desalination plants use reverse
osmosis to turn salty water into fresh.
 











Basically Reverse osmosis is one of the processes that makes desalination (or removing salt from seawater) possible. Beyond that, reverse osmosis is used for recycling, waste-water treatment, and can even produce energy.
