A water swelling water stop material comprised of a water permeable sheet, characterized in that water absorbent resin particles (A) are enclosed therein so that the water stop material upon water absorption and swelling has the configuration of polyhedron (B). The water stop material is thin to thereby facilitate storage thereof and is lightweight to thereby render carry thereof easy. The polyhedron (B) is so constructed that upon water absorption and swelling, at least two faces are planar. When the polyhedron (B) is formed into a rectangular solid or cube, even if multiple polyhedrons (B) are piled one upon another, they are stable and are resistant to collapse even under the influence of a a large amount of water. When polyhedrons (B) of the same configuration are piled one upon another, any gaps between water stop materials are slight so as to inhibit water leakage through the gaps. Moreover, when the polyhedron (B) has a cavity, the cavity can be packed with a heavy solid material or can have a stake hammered therein so that the water stop material can stably resist violent water streams. Therefore, this water swelling water stop material can be appropriately used as a water stop material for rainwater penetration prevention in order to protect banks, buildings, houses, etc. in the event of flood, heavy rain, etc.
