what keeps an open quarry from becoming a quarry lake?

337 views

As far as I know quarry lakes are created over time as rainwater fills the quarry over years. What keeps an open quarry from getting filled the same way when it rains?
Please tell me if the flair is wrong, I estimated this one to be the closest fitting.

I work in a quarry our water is pumped through ditches and it sits in a settling pond and then we pump it up into a near by lake on property . Our quarry still floods alot in spring and heavy rain tho. The lake the water is pumped into is also an old quarry hole that has filled with water .
