How exactly do water towers work?

Is the water always up there?

How does the water get up there? I assume pumps but it all just doesn’t compute in my brain.

Water wants to go dooooown the hole as fast as it can. To help with this, we push it to the top of a water tower.
To do this, we simply have a pump at the bottom slowly and steadily pushing water up up and up to fill the tower.

People only tend to use water at specific times and in bursts, so even if the tower get’s “low”, it shouldn’t empty out and it fills back up when people aren’t watering their kids or bathing their lawns.
