In quarries and mines, the formation of underground lakes is, on the one hand, the result of rainwater infiltration into the cavities and fractures of the bedrock. Rainwater seeps through the layers of soil and rock, reaching underground areas. The water then accumulates to form underground lakes, creating amazing aquatic landscapes. These lakes are very common in gypsum, because it is a very soluble rock, or in chalk because it is a very porous and not very permeable rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, the formation of these lakes or flooded levels are the result of a phenomenon of rising water tables. This occurs when the water table rises and water flows into the underground cavities, filling the spaces and creating bodies of water. This phenomenon often results in the complete disappearance of underground networks or certain levels under water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
