How can I calculate the specific discharge for the z-axis( qz)?

specific discharge formula: q= -Kz*(dh/dz)

Terms:

K = Hydraulic Conductivity 

dh/dz = Hydraulic Gradient 

h = Hydraulic Head

z = length 

 

Hydraulic heads aren't given for the z-axis so I'm struggling on how to calculate for those values and I need them to solve for specific discharge.
