     Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     You have requested the opinion of this firm with respect to certain matters
in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") to be filed by you under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), for the purpose of registering the offer and sale of up to
520,000 authorized but unissued shares (the "Shares") of the Common Stock, $.001
par value, of Hydro Environmental Resources, Inc. (the "Company") reserved for
issuance under the Contracts (as that term is defined below).

     For the purpose of rendering the opinions contained in this opinion letter,
we have examined copies of:

     (a) The Registration Statement;

     (b) The Consulting Contract dated January 7, 2003, and Amendment to
Original Contract dated January 9, 2003, among Hydro Environmental Resources,
Inc., Nichole Wright, and TheStockbroker.com, Inc., and Letter Agreement dated
December 16, 2002, and Modification #1 among Hydro Environmental Resources,
Inc., Synergy Group, LLC, and Mark Paul (collectively, the "Contracts").

     (c) The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to
date; and the records of certain corporate proceedings and actions taken by the
directors of the Company in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares;
and

     (d) Such other corporate records and documents as we have deemed necessary
or appropriate.

In the course of our examination and investigations, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures on all documents and the due execution and
delivery of all documents requiring due execution and delivery for the
effectiveness thereof.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, it is our
opinion that the issuance of the Shares has been duly authorized and that the
Shares, when issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the
Contracts will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement. Subject to the foregoing sentence, this opinion letter is delivered
solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon by, nor may a copy be
delivered to, any other person without our prior written consent. In giving our
consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules or
regulations thereunder. This opinion letter is delivered as of the date hereof
and we assume no obligation to advise you of any change that may hereafter be
brought to our attention.

                                         Very truly yours,

                                         FARLEIGH, WADA & WITT, P.C.
