The study main goal was to introduce a non-conventional water resource to participate in solving the water shortage problem in Egypt by using Algae and Wetland for wastewater treatment. This study was performed on drainage water from Bahr El Baqar drain in Lake Manzala Water Research Station.A pilot scale wetland consists of four parallel basins were used for the experiment. Each cell was cultivated with one of the media Reeds plants or Chlorella or Spirulina or Azolla alga.The water samples results were analyzed using VBA module.The removal efficiency of TN reached 80% by Azolla, while for TP it reached 80% by Chlorella and Spirulina, and for BOD and COD best removals were reached by Chlorella.The proposed system is an integration between Wetland and Algae bioremediation introduced as a Green Solution treatment technique. The treated water quality could be reused, while the algae provides several byproducts
