Some have suggested perhaps「grain plants scant and desired」means SPARSE and WATERY since a large portion of the surface of the rice paddy is visible for some unstated reason, and not filled with green rice shafts that would normally block viewing any water other than at the edges. More likely though, DILUTED may be closely related to the meaning of「seeds at tip of stalk are scant and still desired, never enough to satisfy the demand」and have become SPARSE and WATERY due to many ejaculations occurring within a brief period…not having much to do with grain plants, but perhaps something to do with RARE, red and raw meat. SCANT means「barely sufficient, falling short of a specific measure, inadequately supplied.」…NEVER ENOUGH TO SATISFY THE DEMAND 　[　https://www.thefreedictionary.com/scant　]　
　A case of「gonorrhea with hope」during an age without antibiotics was also UNCOMMON, RARE, SCARCE, difficult to locate.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
