“…Desalination is becoming increasingly important for water production in semiarid coastal regions (10,11). Reverse-osmosis membranes are most commonly used for this application, whereas the use of membranes in a forwardosmosis scheme is becoming more interesting to water planners (10,12). Both of these processes need extensive pretreatment of the source water to remove particulates and microbial contaminants, but they provide excellent treatment for properly pretreated water.…”

“…A significant improvement in the permeability of solute-rejecting membranes would also be a large step in improving the economics of desalination for drinking water applications.

“…According to the World Health Organization, over 1 billion people in the world lack adequate clean water and about 43% of the Earth's human population live in water scarce areas, while the population grows at over 80 million per year [1]. As the demand for freshwater increases and the quality of existing supplies deteriorates, the need for efficient techniques for fresh water production increases.…”
