But III is implicit because if someone requests for something to others, the former assumes that the latter will concede it.

    Since the given statement has been made by the waterman while educating people on the community's right, the waterman must be assuming indulgence of MNCs in water business as disastrous for the people. Note that the speaker is not averse to indulgence of MNCs in road construction or some other areas. This implies water business has some special importance. Hence assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is not implicit because the indulgence of MNCs does not necessarily imply that they are going to by the rivers.
