How does Findlay get water in reservoirs?
PUMPED IN FROM THR BLANCHARD RIVER
What is a Pumped Storage Reservoir and why do you need them?
When there is not much demand for electricity, such as during the night, the extra electricity is used to pump water back up to a storage reservoir. Then, later in the day, when electricity demand is high, the water from the storage water is also released as an extra, producing more electricity when it is needed. We need them because demand for electricity fluctuates (goes up and down) and pumped storage reservoirs allow us to meet the demand.
