The Kesavinakere spreads in survey number 39, 40 and 35 of Addada village in the taluk. The water from Kotegudda collects in the kere. The Kesavinakere has good source of water and drinking water can be supplied to the town without spending much.  The former minister H G Govinde Gowda had prepared an action plan for the development of Kesavinakere and had sanctioned Rs one crore for the development. However, the project got delayed as some private persons filed a case on the encroachment. The sanctioned fund was utilised for the development Hirekere. Inspite of developing Hirekere, the Koppa town continues to reel under severe shortage of drinking water.

The Town Panchayat jurisdiction also includes Harandur and Bintravalli GP. The development of Kesavinakere will help in supplying water to all.
