Osmotic pressure and U tube
Image 
When a semipermeable membrane is placed at the bottom of a U-shaped tube and water is added, it can be observed that adding dissolved material causes the column with the solute to rise:
This phenomenon is due to the negative pressure generated by osmotic pressure.
