The phenomenon referred to as waterhammer can be used to create the pressure required for reverse osmosis of seawater, this has been described in a previous paper [1]. A subsequent paper then investigated economic feasibility and concluded that it could achieve significant cost savings as well as el

It has been suggested that wavepower can be used for seawater desalination using unsteady incompressible duct flow to create the hydrostatic pressure for reverse osmosis [1]. This approach requires further investigation in a number of areas: the non-linear relationship between reverse osmosis recove
