Explanation / Answer

To remain in consumer optimum a price decrease requires increase in consumption and price increase requires decrease in consumption.

Each change in price has substitution effect when the Price of good increases consmuer moves in the favour of relatively cheaper good.(consumer buys relatively cheaper good)

Each change in price has real income effect when price decreases consumers real purchasing power increases causing the consumer more to purchase most of the goods.

The price of water is less than price of diamond because people consume more water than diamond which results in less marginal utility of water than marginal utility of diamond
