Everyone seems to post their creative and functional waterers for their coops, and while I did try a couple, I have found it easier to dump, wash, and refill a plain old giant dog water dish. Anyone else?

I use rubber bowls for feed and water since they are easy to get the ice out in the winter, flip and stomp.
As far as cleaning, well...
People will not like my answer, I don't over clean. I spray out with a hose to get the heavy stuff out and refill. The green algae around the edges doesn't seem to hurt as long as it isn't excessive. My chickens prefer the water running across the mud when I dump them, so I figure a little greenn stuff won't hurt. After three years they seem to still be doing fine.
