We also don't know much about the surroundings. For all we know, there's a very deep chasm that eventually filled with water. Konan opened a massive chasm.

It's not automatically a plothole when we have no clue what it properly looks like. It also depends on how you interpret Konan's explosive tags jutsu. Did she truly open a chasm, or did she fill this chasm with exploding tags and then simply made a chasm in the tags?

Either way, it's clear by Konan's jutsu that what looks like a lake is actually very deep.
