I'll assume your question refers to the (re) absorption of water from the intestinal system.
This takes place mainly in the bowel, and this is why an infection of that organ can result in very fluid fecal movements.
If the fecal material remains in the bowel for too long, then it becomes less hydrated, and somewhat compacted - which we know as 'constipation'.
To ensure comfortable bowel movements, it is necessary to have some fibre in the diet. This material is largely indigestible, but it does absorb water, and thus keeps the bowel motion softer - lubricated if you like.
