What happens to ocean water that does not evaporate?

The water that doesn't evaporate into vapor stays in the ocean as liquid water. The oceans have a lot of liquid water. Over time, ocean water is always evaporating and turning into rain and comes back to the ocean; but the salts and minerals carried into the sea from rivers never evaporate. They stay dissolved in the ocean waters and make it saltier and saltier.

Why is the rivers not salty?

Rivers are not pure freshwater sources of water. As they flow to the ocean, they pick up small amounts of mineral salts. These slightly-salty rivers flow into the ocean, and as this is a continuous flow and there are thousands of rivers, all the salt builds up, causing the oceans to be saturated with salt. Also, because water evaporates and salt does not, the oceans get saltier over time.
