Abstract
Graf (1982) has discussed possible mechanisms for ground water pressure differences large enough to drive subsurface reverse osmosis. Osmotic pressure differences were calculated assuming ideal membrane properties. However, consideration of non-ideal membrane properties indicates that actual subsurface osmotic pressure differences will be considerably smaller than those calculated by Graf (1980), and thus reverse osmosis may occur under more commonly observed hydrogeologic conditions.
