A water collecting arrangement for providing water particularly for small animals such as baby chicks, in which a water collecting bowl with an actuating lever pivotably mounted therein, actuates a watering valve. The watering valve is connected, on one end, to a water pipe, and a free end of the valve is connected to a valve stem for actuating the valve. The stem moves with the actuating lever. An elastic holding clamp which may be attached to the water pipe without the use of tools, holds in place a bottom portion containing the collecting bowl, by means of a bayonet-catch quick-connecting arrangement. The bottom portion is insertable into the holding clamp and can be connected detachably, without tools, by turning through an angle of substantially 90 DEG . The holding clamp has a U-shaped cross-section and a center bar which has a passage in the center for the watering valve. The holding clamp, furthermore, has a smaller clearance width between the free ends of its outer legs. A T-shaped groove or recess is provided in the holding clamp, which is open to the outside and serves as a fastening element for the bottom portion. The T-groove or recess on the center bar is in the zone of the passage and extends lengthwise on the center bar.
