Is there water under Death Valley?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes actually there is. The Badwater Basin is 282 ft. below sea level, though it barely has water. Of course, there are a few oases in the desert too.

In addition to the answer above Death Valley has a multitude of springs in the mountains. The Native Americans knew their locations and planted gardens and fruit trees. On the valley floor there are springs and seeps with water that is salty but still potable if needed. Much of the valley floor at its center is mucky with water and mud and salt - this is because the Amargosa River runs under the Valley flowing north until it ends at Badwater Basin. Saratoga Spring in the south end of the valley is a beautiful spring of water and there are hundreds of other watering holes in the valley. Yes - there is much water in Death Valley - you just have to know where to look.
