A cost effective continuous deep water desalination method and system that can use reverse osmosis, and use the difference in the relative density of fresh and salt water to raise desalinized water through a header into an inshore gathering line. The desalinized water can flow to shore via a gravity-driven elevation change. Inertial energy from the gravity drop can be captured prior to deposit to an aquifer or pumping to the land surface. This energy can be used to help drive the system. Wind, solar, and wave energy can also be captured to provide mechanical or electrical power to assist in driving the system. Back flushing the system can be performed through forcing the fresh water or air back through the system and thus force buildup off the membrane.
