Could a jellyfish be bio-engineered to convert salt water into fresh water?

For my future world, I've decided that coastal cities need fresh water and there isn't enough of it to go around.

I don't know how jellyfish work. Is it feasible or completely impossible for scientists to bio-engineer giant jellyfish to convert salt water into fresh water? Do they store water in their bodies, or are they just made of water?

I would imagine that the jellyfish would convert the salt water into fresh water and it would be stored in its body for humans to harvest later. Could that work or do jellyfish not absorb water into their bodies and can't do this?
