The month of the Ramadan, is one of the Holiest months in the Islamic Calendar.
It is the month in which the Quran was revealed and a month in which the gates of Heaven are opened while the gates of Hell are closed.
Allah speaks about this month in the Quran, where He states:
The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey – then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.
Quran 2:185

In this month, capable Muslims are obliged to fast from sunrise to sunset. This is a total fast whereby one must abstain from food, drink (yes, that includes water) and sexual intimacy from sunrise until the sun sets.

Those who are sick or are traveling are excused from fasting if they must, while they must make them up a later date.
