It depends on what you mean. The tissues of the organ itself or what is inside the organ. The tissues are about 70% water. Just like all the other tissues of your body.
Inside the amount of water is around 5 gallons. This must be removed or we would be come dehydrated if we lost that much. The specialized cells that absorb water from your waste materials are responsible for about 10 percent of the water that you absorb from the foods and beverages that you ingest; the remaining 90 percent is absorbed by cells that line your small intestine.
