I think the relative comparisons are better than numbers without context. Some comparisons

1. Golf courses (uses much more water for entertainment)

2. Different cooling methods have different profiles

We can legislate that they have to use the low-water cooling methods in places where water is an issue. There are local elections every year and the people approving in your community can be changed.
