Most of the absorption of water takes place in the smallintestine. 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.

∙ 11y agoThe 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.
