Kronick’s Eric Robinson joins the Water Education Foundation’s board of directors as a new member in 2020. Robinson is a Kronick shareholder and manager of the firm’s natural resources practice group, which ranks among California’s preeminent water law practices.
Robinson joins the Foundation’s board alongside four other new members: Former Natural Resources Secretary Mike Chrisman, Environmental Science Associates’s Leslie Moulton-Post, the Water and Power Group’s John Bezdek, and GEI Consultants’s Erica Bishop.
“The Foundation does a great service to heighten awareness and understanding about ongoing critical efforts to ensure Californians have a safe, reliable and affordable long-term water supply to sustain our diverse and dynamic economy,” Robinson said. “Water resources issues often are complicated from a scientific and legal perspective, so the Foundation’s mission is important to inform good water policy for California,” Robinson said.
The Foundation, a non-partisan public interest organization based in Sacramento, was founded in 1977 and focuses on producing conferences, publications, maps, water-news dissemination, workshops, school programs, and water-system infrastructure and ecosystem tours to raise awareness of water issues in California and beyond.
A longtime supporter of the Water Education Foundation, Kronick was established in 1959 with a focus on water law and water-related resource law. Founders Stanley Kronick and Adolph Moskovitz first met in 1950 when they shared an office as attorneys for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and helped to formulate water development and distribution plans that helped California grow into the world’s eighth largest economy. More than 60 years later, Kronick’s water resources legal team works statewide to help water districts, cities, water companies, landowners, non-profits and others obtain and protect water supplies while protecting the environment.
