How does water move during osmosis?

From higher water potential to lower water potential.
Explanation:
Water potential is effectively water concentration.
Pure water is given a water potential of 0. This is the highest possible value.
Thus lower water potentials become more negative.
Water will always move to an area of lower (more negative) water potential - assuming the boundary between the areas is permeable.
