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.odies of water that are navigable are known as waterways. Some bodies of water collect and move water, such as rivers and streams, and others primarily hold water, such as lakes and oceans. The term body of water can also refer to a reservoir of water held by a plant, technically known as a phytotelma.
