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.
The method stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
