Apple snails live in freshwater.
I am not a water snail expert, but first (obviously) I know that they are snails that live in water. These snails will dry up when they are outside of water, and when they escape, this usually means the water they are inside is dirty, so check your water quality if you are a water snail keeper. I sometimes call these water snails aquarium snails, the ones that are sold in petstores. There are Mystery snails and Apple snails in this column.
Fresh water snails live in rivers but there might be another type of snail we have not came across on. I hope this information was usefull for you :)
It depends on the type of species.
Yes and No, depending on what type of snail it is.

It depends on what type of water snail they are.
2 kinds are apple snails, and mystery snails. I have mystery snails. Make sure they have plenty of calcium, or they're shells will crack.

As long as you put water conditioner in the water (to get rid of chlorine/chloramine, etc.), you can put in any mystery snail (ivory, black, blue, gold), apple snail (many times referred to as Inca snails), and assassin snails. These snails aren't the best algae cleaners, but will clean up a little bit of it. The assassin snails will eat other snails and dead fish, shrimp, etc. and are carnivores, so they won't clean any algae. The mystery and apple snails will eat decaying or dead plant material, but not live ones, and dead fish. Their biggest source of food is leftover fish food and fish waste. They also enjoy the occasional slice of zucchini, cucumber, spinach, or lettuce. The mystery and apple snails reproduce sexually, meaning that you need a male and female snail to make babies. They will lay eggs at the water line or in the hood of your aquarium. They will hatch in about 1-2 weeks. If you don't want hundreds of tiny snails, simply scrape the eggs out.
Nerite snails are a type of snail that can live peacefully with betta fish.
Snails live in many different habitats. Snails live in gardens, deserts, mountains, and by the water. Snails can be found anywhere. People just do not look for them.
