Sounds more eco maybe, significantly less efficient, and the amount of area you’d need would be pretty massive. You lose energy to the pump and the turbine. Chemical energy storage is the most efficient, the batteries can be recycled. Lithium iron phosphate batteries are another option. en.wikipedia.org/…/Lithium_iron_phosphate_battery
