The reaction between chromate ester and water is a part of a huge and consecutive reaction called Jones reaction.
In this reaction, alcohol is converted to chromic acid in presence of jones reagent, chromic acid is further converted to chromate ester.
Now the obtained chromate ester has one or more unstable alpha hydrogens and in presence of basic species like water it yields an aldehyde or ketone as the organic product.
