State where most water reabsorption takes place in the kidney. State also the process by which the water is reabsorbed.?

Most water reabsorption takes place in the proximal convoluted tubules, part of the nephrons in the kidney. Water is reabsorbed by a process called osmosis; the diffusion of water from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane.
