The high osmolarity in the renal medulla, facilitated by the countercurrent multiplier system, creates an osmotic gradient. This gradient enables efficient reabsorption of water from the filtrate in the collecting ducts, regulated by antidiuretic hormone. This process concentrates urine, aiding in water conservation within the body.
