Maxi Curran’s side led by six points early in the second half but had to hold off a late rally from Waterford.
A goal from Aisling Mullaney reduced the gap to a single point – but Donegal held firm to win by two in the end.
Next up for Donegal is a trip to Clane in county Meath next Sunday (June 19th) to play Munster champions Cork at 2pm.
Two teams from Group D will qualify for the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
