Based on SUTRA, a numerical simulation software of groundwater with variable saturation and density, the influence of evaporation after storm surge on soil pore water flow and salt transport process was studied. The results showed that the seawater overtopping caused land soil salinization, and evaporation would weaken the vertical infiltration of salt water, keep salt in the shallow soil, and increase the salt content in the shallow soil, which made it difficult to eliminate soil salinization.
