Evaporated milk is when they take out half of the water in whole milk and can it to make it shelf-stable. It is an inexpensive alternative to buying regular milk, and lasts much, much longer.

It's milk in a concentrated form.
Whole milk is heated until 60% of the water evaporates.
It's often used in recipes as a low-fat substitute for whipping cream. It can also be diluted with water and used as regular fresh milk in recipes.
Because it doesn't require refrigeration, it's easy to store. You can even stock up so it's always available when you need it.

How: you evaporate the water out of fresh milk.
Why: Because it stores for much longer, and is cheaper and ideal for families with low incomes, or people who REALLY like milk.

Most of the water is removed from the milk and placed in cans. Thus consentraited.
Next time your in a store, pick up a can and read the instructions on how it is used.
