PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water absorption treatment material capable of attaining a sufficient solidification strength even with a small quantity of water absorptive polymer.SOLUTION: A water absorption treatment material 1 comprises a granular core part 10 and a coated layer part 20. The coated layer part 20 covers the granular core part 10. The coated layer part 20 contains a water absorptive polymer 22 having an average particle size of 20 μm or less. The weight percent of the water absorptive polymer 22 to the entirety of the water absorption treatment material 1 is 1.32% or more and 2.55% or less.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
