Is there water under Death Valley?
Yes there is groundwater that comes from Nevada. Well, the Amargosa River begins in Oasis Valley north of Beatty, Nevada and flows south through Shoshone, California; Tecopa, Amargosa Canyon and then it makes a big turn and heads north. It feeds Saratoga Springs and then bottoms out at Badwater Basin 282 feet below sea level in the heart of Death Valley. During most of its 200 mile journey the Amargosa River flows underground.
Would it be possible to flood Death Valley by digging a channel leading to the Pacific Ocean?
Because Death Valley is below sea level, a series of sturdy pipes that "siphoned" water from the Pacific would work just as well (and be much easier than digging a channel). It would also be interesting to model what the creation of a large inland sea like this would do to the weather, especially for drought-prone states to the east.

Located in California, lowest point in north america.Death Valley is a desert valley located in Eastern California. Situated within the Mojave Desert, it is the lowest and driest area in North America. Death Valley holds the record for the highest recorded air temperature on Earth.[2] Badwater Basin, located in Death Valley, is the point of the lowest elevation in North America at 282 feet (86 m) below sea level. This point is only 84.6 miles (136.2 km) east-southeast of Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m).[3] Death Valley holds the record for the highest reliably reported temperature in the world, 134 °F (56.7 °C) at Furnace Creek on July 10, 1913.[4] The previously-claimed world record air temperature, 136 °F (57.8 °C) in 'Aziziya, Libya, on September 13, 1922, has been officially deemed invalid by the World Meteorological Organization.[4]Located near the border of California and Nevada, in the Great Basin, east of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Death Valley constitutes much of Death Valley National Park and is the principal feature of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts Biosphere Reserve. It is located mostly in Inyo County, California. It runs from north to south between the Amargosa Range on the east and the Panamint Range on the west; the Sylvania Mountains and the Owlshead Mountains form its northern and southern boundaries, respectively. It has an area of about 3,000 sq mi (7,800 km2).[5] Death Valley shares many characteristics with other places below sea level
