Well. There are two answers.

The first is that it can't be. Not perfectly anyway, because nothing is 100% efficient.

The question you were probably asking is how can it be stored. That ones easier. The potential energy of the water is stored in a reservoir, behind a dam. During off peak hours water can be pumped up into the dam and then released during peak hours.
