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.

The large intestine takes care of the remaining 10% of liquids and compacts waste for elimination.
