The freshwater used in this osmotic power plant is produced by a wastewater treatment plant, and the high-salinity water used is the wastewater generated by a seawater desalination plant
So, if the freshwater produced by wastewater treatment plants is further processed into usable freshwater to replace the freshwater produced by seawater desalination plants, soon one water treatment plant could replace both the seawater desalination plant and the osmotic power plant, reducing steps. I believe this would greatly improve efficiency

I believe Singapore does that and gets almost pure water. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEWater
