Quarries fill with water primarily through groundwater infiltration and precipitation, as rainwater collects in the excavated pit. In some cases, surface runoff from surrounding areas can also contribute to water accumulation. The water remains in the quarry due to the impermeable bedrock or clay layers at the bottom, which prevent it from draining away. Additionally, if the quarry reaches the water table, it can maintain a stable water level, creating a pond or lake.
