C.W

English to French Tech/Engineering Architecture
Hello everybody,

i need your help one more time. Can anybody tell me what is the meaning of these 2 acronyms?

C.W and R.W.L. This is about an architectural plan of a commercial center.

I'm wondering if RWL means Rain Water Leader? But i have no idea for CW as ClockWise doesn't fit in my plan.

Thanks for helping

First reaction: CW and RWL are two kinds of Level. W common to both. Cold and Running water - no, I don't think so!
Acronyms without the big picture are not easy, are they?
