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.

If drainage is faster than accumulation of water from rainfall or streams, then a lake will not form.
At least some of that drainage will likely take the form of streams above ground itself, but it can also drain through the Earth directly If there are places where the rock layer is not complete or the rock is very porous.
