The large intestine, also called the colon. It is possible to live without it, going through 3 surgeries (you also have the option to only get the first surgery) and having an ileostomy/colostomy. When you don't have a colon, it is a good idea to drink at least 64 oz. of water each day, to keep from dehydration, as it is very easy to get dehydrated without a colon.

MaxineFirst answer: large intestine
My improved answer: 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.
Primarily the small intestine but after that the large intestine will aslo absorb some water
A lot of it is absorbed in the large intestine. Water is also absorbed in the kidneys as well.
