Revenue-based normalization expresses water withdrawals relative to revenue, so you see how much revenue is generated per unit of water used. Here, revenue is $10 billion and water withdrawn is 5 million cubic meters. So 10,000,000,000 divided by 5,000,000 equals 2,000. The resulting metric is $2,000 per cubic meter of water withdrawn. This shows revenue generated for each cubic meter of water used, helping compare companies of different sizes.
