A water dispenser comprising: a container configured to hold water for dispensing, the container having top, side wall and a bottom defining an inner volume; the container comprising an outlet channel at the bottom of the container for dispensing water from the inner volume through the outlet channel, the outlet channel having an upstream end in the inner volume inside the container and a downstream end at an outer side of the container, wherein the water dispenser comprises a manually operated valve arrangement with a valve member either at an upstream end or at a downstream end of the outlet channel, the valve arrangement being arranged to toggle between a closing state where the upstream end or the downstream end of the outlet channel is obstructed by the valve member and an open state where the valve member is removed from obstructing the outlet channel for dispensing the water from the inner volume through the outlet channel, wherein the valve member is pre-stressed by a resiliently pre-stressing force towards a closing state; wherein the manually operated valve arrangement comprises a hinged lever arranged for manual push or pull for moving the valve member by the lever against the pre-stressing force for changing the valve member from the closing to the open state; characterised in that the dispenser comprises a frame on the side wall and around the outlet channel, the lever being hinged inside this frame, wherein the frame comprises a platform as part thereof; wherein the platform is provided on an outer side of dispenser side wall and located underneath the outlet channel, the platform extending farther from the side wall than the outlet channel, wherein the platform is arranged for the water from the outlet channel flowing downwards onto the platform during open state of the valve arrangement and for being dispensed to a user from the platform for consumption. wherein the water dispenser comprises a manually operated valve arrangement with a valve member either at an upstream end or at a downstream end of the outlet channel, the valve arrangement being arranged to toggle between a closing state where the upstream end or the downstream end of the outlet channel is obstructed by the valve member and an open state where the valve member is removed from obstructing the outlet channel for dispensing the water from the inner volume through the outlet channel, wherein the valve member is pre-stressed by a resiliently pre-stressing force towards a closing state; wherein the manually operated valve arrangement comprises a hinged lever arranged for manual push or pull for moving the valve member by the lever against the pre-stressing force for changing the valve member from the closing to the open state; characterised in that the dispenser comprises a frame on the side wall and around the outlet channel, the lever being hinged inside this frame, wherein the frame comprises a platform as part thereof; wherein the platform is provided on an outer side of dispenser side wall and located underneath the outlet channel, the platform extending farther from the side wall than the outlet channel, wherein the platform is arranged for the water from the outlet channel flowing downwards onto the platform during open state of the valve arrangement and for being dispensed to a user from the platform for consumption.
