1 If using the British Imperial System, divide the total weight by 112. 2  This is a long CWT and is the basis for the long ton, or 2,240 pounds (112 pounds x 20 long CWT). 3  In places where both measurements are sometimes used, such as parts of Canada, the 100-lb.4  CWT is commonly called a short CWT.n the U.S, one CWT is equal to 100 pounds; in the UK, a CWT is known as a long hundredweight and weighs 112 pounds. The CWT system originated in Europe centuries ago; it's still in use in many industries, including farming and transportation, because it works.
Lagoons are shallow bodies of water that gets separated from larger water bodies due to the formation of reefs or barrier islands. There are mainly two types of lagoons:
1 Gulf-a part of a lake or ocean that extends so that it is surrounded by land on three sides, similar to, but larger than a bay. 2  Headland-an area of water bordered by land on three sides. 3  Harbor-an artificial or naturally occurring body of water where ships are stored or may shelter from the ocean's weather and currents. Lagoon-a body of comparatively shallow salt or brackish water separated from the deeper sea by a shallow or exposed sandbank, coral reef, or similar feature. 2  Lake-a body of water, usually freshwater, of relatively large size contained on a body of land.
