Question about taps and water flow

    First, I know nothing about plumbing or anything like it. So I'm sorry if this seems a little stupid or I'm not using the right terminology.

    The bathroom tap got replaced the other day and the water flow has completely changed. It used to be like this and now it's more like this but weaker. It's really hard to find a picture as it's in 5 - 7 smaller streams, some joining and all mainly going in different directions.
    I asked and apparently it's to save water. It might but it seems far less efficient, especially when brushing your teeth as the toothbrush only gets water from less than half of the different streams.

    Is that a valid excuse? And is there anything I can do about the annoying flow?

    is the bathroom upstairs? and not pumped? ie working off gravity?,taps come with different minimum working pressures,usually 0.1 bar,0.2 bar, 0.5 bar,1.0 bar,. so depending on height the water tank is above your taps,if system is not pumped,chances are you would need to have 0.1 or 0.2 bar min taps to get a decent flow rate in an upstairs bathroom
