With a view to the lack of comprehensive control technology for ecological security(ES) of lakes and reservoirs, also for supporting and ensuring their ecological security, the concept, characteristics and technical requirements for ecological security control (ESC) were firstly analyzed. Meanwhile, ESC technical framework (T-PIRLEP) was studied and proposed. Technical points for main elements of the framework were also presented to approach ESC. According to the results of this study, it is considered that ES of lakes and reservoirs is controllable and the main objectives of ESC are to maintain the safety of eco-environment and eco-service in lakes and reservoirs with the endpoint of human safety. ESC has features like comprehensive, function-oriented, type diversity, spatial dynamics and uncertainty. In the T-PIRLEP framework, target of ensuring ecological security (T) is regarded as the core element and the ecological carrying capacity is considered as an important constraint. In view of the coupled inter-reaction of different affecting elements of ES, such as population growth, industry development, resource utilization, pollution emissions, ecological protection and policy management, 6 kinds of regulating and control measures including population regulation (P), industry regulation (I), resources use regulation (R), load control (L), ecological regulation (E) and policy regulation (P) are finally suggested to realize the ESC for lakes and reservoirs. The research indicates that targeting specifically on different control types should be carried out to guide the whole regulation process. Mutual feedbacks among control target, regulation measures, and target reachability analysis should be highlighted, and the convergence between ES assessment and control should be strengthened in the regulation research.
