The diffusion of water across a membrane is primarily governed by the concentration gradient of solutes on either side of the membrane, a process known as osmosis. Water molecules move from an area of lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) to an area of higher solute concentration (lower water concentration) until equilibrium is reached. This movement occurs through specialized channels called aquaporins in biological membranes, facilitating rapid water transport. Additionally, temperature and pressure can influence the rate of diffusion.
