Movement of water from area of high to low concentration

The movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is known as osmosis. This is a specific type of diffusion that applies to water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. In osmosis, water moves from a region where it is more concentrated (lower solute concentration) to a region where it is less concentrated (higher solute concentration). This process continues until equilibrium is reached, meaning the concentration of water is equal on both sides of the membrane.
