We keep our ducks in a movable pen. We move them around our back yard throughout the day. I put a 2' round plastic sled in the pen for their water.
I always set it at a slight angle then fill it with a garden hose. When it is full I turn the water in the garden hose down to a dribble. I stick the hose through the holes in the chicken wire and let it dribble into the sled full of water.
Throughout the day it slowly overflows the water. When the ducks go into the water to play they stir it up and all the gunk flows over the side. It really keeps the water pretty clean!
An added benefit is that our grass gets watered pretty well too. We live in sand, so I would be watering anyway!
