1. An apparatus for transporting water into an electrochemical cell, comprising:
a housing defining a housing interior and comprising an inlet and an outlet;
an osmotic medium associated with the inlet and defining an interface between the housing interior and an environment external to the housing, such that the housing is configured to be submerged in the external environment, wherein the osmotic medium is configured to:
separate water from a solute in the environment surrounding the housing;
purify the water;
transport the purified water through the osmotic medium to the housing interior; and
restrict transport of the solute through the osmotic medium;

a pressure-activated valve associated with the outlet and defining an interface between the housing interior and an electrochemical cell interior;
an anode within the electrochemical cell interior; and
a cathode within the electrochemical cell interior, wherein there is no obstruction between the anode and the cathode.
