Elephants use their trunk like a straw to drink up water that they shoot into their mouths!  But that's not all that elephants use water for.  They like to take showers by squirting the water on them.  Elephants also like to roll around in mud, which actually helps keep them cool.  On hot days, elephants even like to take a swim, just like you would do on a summer day!
