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.

Culverts, pumps, geo-engineering, gravity. The real answer is maintenance. There are a bunch of systems that can keep a quarry dry, but if nobody is getting paid to maintain them they’re gonna get filled with muck and beaver dams and eventually you maybe get a superfund site, or a fence, or most likely nobody gives a shit and the thing sits for years, providing a place for cliche high school drama for years to come.
Occasionally people stick boats on the thing and then you 10x some property values, that’s legit but not common. Mostly you 10x the property value for mosquitos until somebody tosses a few gold fish in, then end up with a carp pond.
