There are at least six known mechanisms for water flux across biological membranes.
1.Thermal agitation(diffusion)
2.Solvent drag in ion movement in an electrical field(limiting case:electro-smosis)
3.Carriers(hydrated solutes)
4.Gravity
5.Pressure
6.Pinocytosis(vacuole movement)
Another theoretically possible mechanism is thermosmosis.
