Something like this
Agree with other suggestions about putting more than one bowl in the pen too, as others could be guarding the bowl, or she may not like drinking out of slobbery water.

I have tried giving her a little, then letting her rest a bit, then giving her a bit more, however, I am not always home, and I don't want to take her water away while I'm gone, but I can't monitor the way she drinks it if I'm not there. Plus, when I take the water away, she whines and cries like crazy wanting more. I'm not really sure what to do, either.

Once given the all clear, then and only then look at possible solutions - a different type/style of water bowl, putting large, clean stones in the bowl so that water has to be lapped more slowly, giving her her own water bowl that is available at all times.
I do think that there's a good possibility that one of the other dogs is maybe giving 'keep off' signals that she is heeding then possibly making sure that she has more than her fill when given her own water to drink
