Why does my pup kinda scratch the bowl of water

That bowl is very small for the size of your dog, so it could be that she is trying to get to more water. Switching to a larger bowl, or one that is a different material may help her paw at it less. If it is kept close to her food, she may also be trying to "bury" it for later, like a bone or toy.
