Water desalination systems and methods are designed to provide high recovery of saline water and highly concentrated water while minimizing energy usage. The systems process pre-treated water using fluidly coupled pumps and filters. A pump increases the pressure of the pre-treated water to a desired value for a specific filter.

The systems further include multiple brine-concentration (BC) membranes that are interconnected in either a series or a parallel arrangement. These membranes are coupled with optional upstream and downstream reverse-osmosis (RO) membranes to produce high-purity permeate water.
