Death Valley is in the rain shadow of the tallest mountains of the Sierra Nevada. Those rains catch most of the moisture from the winter rains. The Summer rains of the western US come from the Pacific but come up through the Arizona or the Gulf of Mexico. So, Death Valley misses both the winter and summer rains.

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.

The dead sea is 420 meters or 1378 feet below sea level. Death Valley is 86 meters or 282 feet below sea level. The difference is 334 meters or 1096 feet. See the related links for more information.

Death Valley is dry, but it's certainly not rain-free. If I look at weather.com

And, for the record, yes it does torque me off that I can't get data from a government web site from the government that I paid to collect it without paying for it again. If it required someone to go dig for it and mail it to me, I wouldn't mind paying for it, but it's an automated web server burping out text. That's ridiculous.
