It is not the bowel that pulls water per se, it is the bacteria that cause the infection release toxins that disable the water pumps within the cells lining the bowl, causing them to dump water into the bowel.

Where is water from remaining material absorbed in a human body?
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.

If warm urine comes for more than 4 days then it means what?
Normal urine is always "warm" when it exits the body -- it is the same temperature or a little cooler than the body. If there is "burning" during urination, then it *could* indicate dehydration (not drinking enough water) or *could* be a urinary infection. A urinary infection usually causes fever as well.
