Abstract The problem of fair allocation of joint costs was considered by the TVA in the 1930's, in relation to apportioning costs of dam systems among participatory uses. Methods proposed to solve this problem foreshadowed various game theory solution concepts including the core, a special case of the nucleolus, and the imputation which minimizes the maximum propensity to disrupt. A method equivalent to the latter, but with a different rationale, is now in standard use among water resource engineers.
