Default Connecting 3-4 sprinklers to one faucet

I am planning to connect 3-4 sprinklers to one faucet via a 4-way
adapter and have one technical question/doubt: The hose connecting the
adapter to the faucet would carry 3-4 times more water than individual
hoses connecting it to sprinklers. What capacity should these hoses be?

Naively, I was thinking 3/4" hose to faucet and 5/8" hoses to
sprinklers. Or would another combination make more sense?

Thanks.


don't forget, resistance is proportional to length of hose. if it's
just a foot of hose to the adapter, that's quite different than 50
feet.
