If fresh and salt water are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, the fresh water will travel through the membrane to try and equal out the difference in salinity.

This will increase the pressure on the salt water side corresponding to lifting the water up to one hundred and twenty meters. 

The pressurized water can be used to run a turbine that generates electricity
