Because "70 percent more tomatoes per unit of water" is too abstract for most people.

"70 percent more tomatoes for a given amount of water." Or even better "Decreased tomato water requirements by 41%" but that doesn't sound as impressive.

Well, its almost half.

"Nearly halved tomato water requirements" sounds fairly impressive to me.
