Abstract Resilience lies on strengthening the cities systems by creating a practical tool to increase livability, ensure the safety of inhabitants, and improve the economic status (Dreiling and Mahayni, 2018). In Egypt, Dakahlia, Matarya lies on the lake of Al-Manzala coast. Most of the population (90%) of Matarya’s users depend mainly on fishing and almost 10% depend on the manufacture of boats, ships, and fishing nets (Hiza, 2017). Water pollution is considered a critical problem in Al-Matarya, as fishing is starting to extinct due to the deterioration of the lake (Hiza, 2017). Contaminated water has not led to sustainable, healthy nor resilient pathways for the community or users. A crisis is often a catalyst for innovation and a call to cities to enable strategic responses (Sperling, Josh, and Sarni, 2019). This paper aims to solve the problem of water pollution by adopting the idea of innovative water bioremediation to reduce water contamination. Nitrogen affects water purification so drawing seawater from a great barrier reef requires removal of organic and inorganic nitrogen, and sand filters can be used too (Kidgell, de Nys, Hu, Paul, and Roberts, 2014). This challenge will provide investment in agriculture industry for AlMatarya users, and a greater future potential instead of becoming an environmental hazard. Therefore, this will help in solving the problem of water pollution by the creation of sand filters and reefs so the nutrient wastewater will be bioremediated into clean water that can be used for food, fertilizers, or synthetic crude oil for transport fuels.
