Water will circulate in the rocks. In addition, many former quarries do not support life in the water for various reasons, which is why many of them are crystal clear. @lanie in US: I could be wrong, but I have heard that buildings built underground tend to be safer than those above ground, something about them moving with the ground, not acting as a mass damper. @SCAQ-Tony:

I would like to see some of the profits of quarrying put back into the landscape as we tend to ignore the destruction of it.
