If you do not have field data about the soil moisture in your study area, you will be able to have a approach towards this value using Topographic Wetness Index from one Digital Elevation Model. That also makes me think of the the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) by using near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) bands from Landsat 8 or Sentinel 2A. SAGA GIS (free) has a module to calculate the Soil Moisture Content.
