distance (river km) from outlfow point of the network

I'm not exactly sure the best form for this given the dynamic nature of the profiler, but segments should have rkms as an attribute at the end of topology or end of the profiler.

We have the LengthKM feature but that seems like a line length. I suppose we could use methodology from #5 and accumulate the LengthKm attribute along the same path.

I would suggest including the river km of the start and end of the segment, rather than just a generic RiverKM.

MattReimer commented 7 years ago

@KellyMWhitehead like each edge would have startKM and endKM?

correction: by edge I mean segment. In graph theory an edge is anything that connects two nodes.
