2.73 understand that water is reabsorbed into the blood from the collecting duct

If you don't know what happens regarding the water leaving the blood, it may be a good idea to go to one of these posts... 2.69 2.71 2.72. If you don't know what a nephron is or how it works, i would recommend checking out 2.71.

The glomerulus filtrate will flow along the nephron (next to the capillary). All the useful stuff (such as the glucose, some of the salt, and some of the water (depending on osmoregulation) will be reabsorbed (by active transport) back into the blood. The glucose is reabsorbed at the first (proximal) collecting tubule, the water is reabsorbed from the collecting duct, sufficient salt is kind of just absorbed throughout.
