According to https://waterfootprint.org/en/water-footprint/product-water-... , beef has a ~50x water footprint compared to vegetable.

It's hard to understand what "99% less impact on water scarcity" means but surely beyond meat can't use less water than vegetables? (since beyond meat is plant based)

It's pretty close. If faux beef is 100 per X, and real beef is 5,000 per X, then faux beef is 98% of real beef.
