"the water board officer stated that while the water supply was still declining the water restrictions seem to be having effect."

if the water supply is W megalitre discuss dW/dt and (d^2)W/d(t^2) in relation to the above quote.

i came across this in a half yearly.

i know dy/dx < 0

It would mean the water level is decreasing at a decreasing rate.

i.e dy/dx < 0 , d^2y/dydx^2 > 0

i.e dy/dx < 0 , d^2y/dydx^2 > 0

If people have water restictions and there taking effect then the rate at which the water is being used is decreasing, but speed of rate (so to speak) is increasing

dy/dx<0, d^2y/2x^2>0, the guy above had it right but his logic on the concavity was wrong.
