There are two major reasons. The first is evaporative cooling: as the water evaporates from the mud, it helps cool the elephant. The second is pest control: it helps protect their skin from biting and stinging insects and parasites.
The dominant reasons are to cool off, or to bath themselves. However since elephants are fairly developed mentally, it could be for fun. :)
For the most part, they are throwing it on their backs to protect their skin.
Adult elephants drink between about 70 and 200 liters a day,depending on the tempurature.
