Description
This would help bulk management of locations by allowing one to do edits of subsetted location data in a panadas dataframe and then store into the database. It appears you have to manually convert the dataframe into json for a store.

Research direction
Start by locating the location storage entry point and any existing JSON conversion helpers; the issue names no file or test. Trace how subsetted pandas location data reaches the CWMS Data API and database, then consider the work done when location_df_to_json produces JSON accepted for bulk location edits and has focused coverage.
