Brief Explanations

In the loop of Henle, the ascending limb actively transports out salt (using energy - dependent mechanisms like ion pumps). The descending limb is permeable to water, and water moves out passively (down its concentration gradient) due to the high - salt environment created in the medulla by the active salt transport in the ascending limb.

Answer:

Active removal of salt and passive removal of water
