Water pressure drop when 1 pipe splits into 3

[tooting]

Hi, what happens when I have a single pipe with pressure 1bar.

I split this pipe into 3 equal pipes with equal diameter.

What will be my pressure at the ends of these 3 equal pipes ?

From what I have been reading on the internet it seems that the pressure will be the same on the 3 equal pipes .

If so how can I increase flow rate and decrease pressure on this 3 equal pipes ?

Thank you

The flow will decrease by a factor of 3 (conservation of matter), but the pressure changes depend on resistance.

How do I increase flow rate and decrease pressure then ?
Is it even possible ?

Add a pump with a higher flow rate at the pressure drops through the piping system.
