How can I calculate the specific discharge for the z-axis( qz)? specific discharge formula: qz = -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.

How can I calculate the specific discharge for the z-axis( qz)?
specific discharge formula: qz = -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.
