Anything absorbed by the small intestine goes into the blood. The small intestine is lined by finger-shaped projections called villi. The villi provide a greatly enlarged surace area for absorption. Each villus contains a network of blood capillaries which absorb most digested food eg sugars, amino acids, vitamins. Water is also absorbed into the blood from the large intestine. http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/general/body_basics/digestive.html http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/smallgut/absorb_water.html

Where in the digestive system is water absorbed into the bloodstream?
The small intestine must absorb massive quantities of water. A normal person or animal of similar size takes in roughly 1 to 2 liters of dietary fluid every day. On top of that, another 6 to 7 liters of fluid is received by the small intestine daily as secretions from salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver and the small intestine itself. By the time the ingesta enters the large intestine, approximately 80% of this fluid has been absorbed.

Where is water absorbed in digestive system?
The Small Intestines. The SMALL INTESTINES absorbs most of the water and most of the nutrients, and the colon's job is to absorb the rest of the water (the colon* does not greatly assist the body in nutrient absorption). Basically, the colon's function is to absorb any REMAINING water that the small intestines doesn't absorb. By the time the chyme ( partly digested food) reaches the large intestine more than 90% of the water has been absorbed by the body. The large intestine takes care of the remaining 10% of liquids and compacts waste for elimination.
