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.

Active quarries have pumps to help them keep dry. In addition to the pumps a lot of the water is soaked up by the masses being brought out of the quarry. But even abandoned quarries does not always fill with water. Some places the bedrock is porous enough due to cracks that the water can drain through the bedrock and out towards the ocean faster then the quarry can fill up.
