As a person with a strong curiosity about how things work, I have been
intrigued
by the term 'Reverse Osmosis'.

As I recall, osmosis is the process by which two liquids separated by a semi-
permeable membrane either give up or acquire fluid from/to the other
depending
on the concentration of impurities in solution. This is a natural phenomen
which
occurs in nature. How is the process reversed and in doing so result in
water
free of contaniments?

Thanks in avance to someone who has the answer.
