Nanofibrous structures/buildings offer many interesting features due to their large spacious surface area. This makes them promising through various applications, especially water management. This new generation of large-membered/poous membranes shows great hope that it can be used in a variety of partition systems due to its outstanding features such as surprisingly high porosity (≥ 90%) and connected 3D pore structure, as compared to standard techniques. This article reviews updates of electrospun nanofibrous layers (ENMs) with some highlights of recent achievements, issues, and future ideas for water treatment. To begin with, the basic principles of electrospinning were discussed. The use of ENMs in thin-film composite membranes (TFC) in pressure-driven procedures for water treatment is introduced. The new use of ENMs in the membrane distillation (MD) process is hotly discussed. Deductions, conclusions and opinions are expressed in terms of recent developments.
