Tutorial: Collect Open Data from online sources

4. Search for layers on GeoNode

Malawi has a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI): the Malawi Spatial Data Platform (MASDAP), which is built on GeoNode.

In this section we're going to add data from MASDAP to our QGIS project.

1. Browse to the Malawi Spatial Data Platform

MASDAP

2. In the Search field type groundwater and press the <Enter> button.

Now you'll see this result.

MASDAP groundwater data

3. Click on the layer name and inspect the metadata and attributes of the layer.

With the Download button you could download this data. In the next section however, we're going to connect to this GeoNode from QGIS and load the layer into our project.
